Supporting a Busy Medical Doctor

We’re looking for a highly organised, proactive, and reliable in-person Personal Assistant to support a respected medical doctor based in Umhlanga, Durban.

Why This Role Matters

Doctors spend years training to save lives - not to manage inboxes, diaries, and paperwork.

Facilitating home repairs (fridge, dishwasher, coffee machine, etc.)

Events & Family Support
