South Africa: Immigration Consultant posted by O’Brien Recruitment

Are you the kind of person who spots a missing document before anyone else does? Do you thrive in structured environments where precision matters and deadlines are non-negotiable?

Our client, a fast-growing global mobility and immigration specialist, is looking for an experienced Immigration Consultant to join their Cape Town team. This is not an admin role. This is a coordination, compliance, and case management role within the immigration space, where attention to detail can make or break an application.

This role suits someone who genuinely has a passion for immigration and understands that accuracy is everything. If you are detail-obsessed, structured, and ready to grow within a specialised immigration consultancy, I’d like to hear from you.
