Paralegal

Whether you are a seasoned Paralegal or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Kroonstad. The team hires on merit and across communities in Free State.

Overview

The organisation is investing in its Kroonstad operation, and this Paralegal position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the legal and security jobs function and contribute to the wider Free State business.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the legal and security jobs team in Free State make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

On top of that, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Kroonstad also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Paralegal to step into the legal and security jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

Your Workplace

Equally, the environment is process-driven and regulation-aware. Whether you are at a desk or on site, attention to detail, calm conduct and accurate reporting are non-negotiable.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Free State. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Kroonstad site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Practically speaking, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Equally, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Kroonstad.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Free State.

Why This Role

You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Kroonstad colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the legal and security jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Kroonstad teams.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Free State.

On top of that, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Kroonstad keep progressing.

About the Team

Equally, you will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the legal and security jobs side of the business inside out. The Kroonstad group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

On top of that, the team mix in Kroonstad reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
