Administrative Assistant Job Opportunity at Starke Ayres (Pty) Ltd.

Okay, I need to rewrite this job advertisement to make it more professional and natural. Let me start by understanding the original content.

First, the reference number and title: Admin Assistant in the Laboratory at Kempton Park. The company is Starke Ayres, a seed supplier. The role is to support the Quality Assurance Department with administrative tasks related to seed testing and quality data.

The responsibilities are divided into sections: managing seed samples, maintaining records, assisting with quality control, general admin duties, secretarial services, confidential communications, conferences, and customer service. Requirements include Grade 12, knowledge of agricultural legislation, driver’s license, and own transport.

I should structure this clearly. Start with the job title, location, and reference number. Then a brief description of the company and role. List responsibilities in bullet points for readability. Add requirements and job details at the end.

I’ll use simple English, avoid jargon, and make sure the flow is logical. Also, ensure it’s formatted neatly without any unnecessary tags. Let me draft the HTML span with the cleaned-up content.
