Records Administrator

Salary: R23 000 – R25 000 per month

Remote Recruitment is hiring a Records Administrator for a UK-based employer, fully remote from South Africa. You will own the integrity of a UK company’s records — correctly filed, correctly named, retained for the right period and findable in seconds.

This suits a methodical person who takes quiet pride in a system that is genuinely accurate, working long term with a UK business from home in South Africa.

Key responsibilities

• File, index and archive documents to the agreed structure
• Check records for completeness and correct errors
• Apply retention and disposal schedules
• Retrieve records and respond to internal requests
• Maintain logs, registers and audit trails
• Support data clean-up and migration projects

What you'll need

• Experience in a records, document control or administrative role
• Comfortable with Microsoft 365, SharePoint or Google Workspace
• Methodical, accurate and consistent with naming and filing
• Strong written and spoken English
• A reliable fibre connection, a working laptop and a quiet place to work

Nice to have

• Familiarity with a document management system
• Exposure to data protection or retention policy
• Experience supporting an audit

What's on offer

• 100% remote — work from anywhere in South Africa
• Working hours of 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST), Monday to Friday
• Long-term placement with a stable UK employer
• Ongoing support from the Remote Recruitment team throughout your placement

If this sounds like your kind of role, apply with your CV and we'll be in touch.
