• Good interpersonal skills.
• Excellent communication skills.
• The ability to work effectively in a team.
• Willingness to work overtime when necessary.

Experience requirement explained

TWK Agri classifies this as an entry-level position and does not state a compulsory period of previous administrative experience.

Applicants may still strengthen their CVs by showing relevant experience gained through employment, temporary work, volunteering or practical training. Relevant exposure may include:

• Office administration.
• Data capturing.
• Purchase-order or invoice processing.
• Stock receiving.
• Retail administration.
• Banking or sales reconciliations.
• Report preparation.
• Record keeping.
• Stock merchandising and product labelling.

Applicants should describe their actual duties honestly and should not present coursework, informal assistance or volunteering as permanent employment.

Financial administration explained

The position includes purchase orders, invoices, banking information and sales reconciliations. These duties require careful data capture and the ability to identify information that appears incomplete or inconsistent.

The Administration Clerk should follow approved procedures and should not change financial records, authorise payments or resolve discrepancies outside the authority assigned to the position.

Any unexplained difference should be reported to the appropriate supervisor rather than ignored or adjusted without approval.

Stock and product responsibilities explained

The role includes both stock administration and practical retail-store support. The successful applicant may need to move between office duties and work involving received stock, expiry dates, product labels and merchandise displays.

Applicants should therefore be comfortable working in a retail environment rather than expecting a position that remains entirely office-based.

Temporary-worker documentation

The Administration Clerk will help manage contracts and documents relating to temporary workers. These records may contain personal and employment information and must be handled carefully.

The successful applicant should maintain accurate records, protect confidential information and refer contract-related decisions to an authorised manager.

Computer-literacy requirement

Computer literacy is an official requirement because the role includes data capturing, reporting, reconciliations and document processing.

The vacancy does not name a particular software package. Applicants should describe their genuine experience with office software, spreadsheets, email, data-capturing systems or retail-administration platforms without claiming knowledge they do not have.

Skills that may be important

• Administrative accuracy.
• Careful attention to detail.
• Computer literacy.
• Data-capturing ability.
• Numeracy and basic reconciliation skills.
• Record keeping and document organisation.
• Clear written and verbal communication.
• Good interpersonal skills.
• The ability to work as part of a team.
• Responsible handling of financial and personal information.
• The ability to manage several routine tasks.
• Willingness to assist with practical retail duties.

These abilities are based on the published duties and should not be treated as additional formal qualifications.

Working hours and overtime

The official vacancy requires applicants to be willing to work overtime when necessary.

The normal working hours, overtime frequency and overtime-compensation arrangements are not stated. Applicants should confirm the roster and applicable terms if shortlisted or offered the position.

Candidates should also consider whether they can travel reliably to the Carolina workplace when overtime is required.

Salary and benefits

The official advertisement does not publish the salary or employee benefits for this position.

Applicants should confirm the salary, benefits, overtime arrangements, deductions and working hours through TWK Agri’s official recruitment process or written employment offer.
