RAF calls for verification and validation support staff in Durban. The Road Accident Fund has opened applications for five positions of Administrative Assistant: Verification and Validation X5 at its Durban branch in KwaZulu-Natal. The open posting comes as the organisation seeks to bolster its administrative processes — with a particular focus on claims verification and validation. Role and purpose The main keyword for this opportunity is verification and validation — a phrase that appears repeatedly in the job description. According to the ad, the purpose of the role is "to ensure a valid & legitimate claim is being filed. The successful candidate will join a fixed-term contract for 18 months, during which they will perform key administrative duties that aid accurate and efficient claims processing." Key responsibilities Movement of files and correspondence for verification and validation of claims. Record keeping and maintaining registers and systems. Interrogation of documentation and stakeholder relations. General office administration and support functions. To qualify, applicants must meet the following criteria A Matric or Grade 12 certificate (NQF 4) is mandatory. At least one year of experience working in an office environment is required; ideally in a supporting administrative capacity. Computer literacy (MS Office suite), effective written and verbal communication, good organisational and analytical skills, ethics and professionalism, customer‑service orientation, and problem solving. Behavioural competencies such as personal mastery and emotional wisdom are also specified. Contract terms and benefits The posting specifies a fixed-term contract of 18 months (though some sources indicate similar roles may be 36 months) — applicants should clarify this during the application process. The RAF also promotes benefits such as training opportunities, flexible work hours, and standard contributions to pension / medical schemes in its listings. Location and organisational context Based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, this position is part of the RAF's broader nationwide operations serving the South African public by managing and compensating road‑accident‑related claims. The administrative support role sits at the heart of ensuring claims are valid, properly documented and flow efficiently through the system. The Castle Hill of the role is the verification and validation process — checking the authenticity, completeness and correctness of claims. Why this role matters In an environment where fraudulent claims and mis‑documented submissions can create major delays or cost leakages, a role dedicated to verification and validation is essential. By reinforcing these checks, the RAF is both tightening internal controls and improving service delivery. For the candidate, this means an opportunity to help shape behind‑the‑scenes processes that ultimately affect how claimants receive compensation or support. Tips for applicants Highlight in your CV and covering letter your experience in handling documentation, record‑keeping, tracking files and stakeholder interaction. Emphasise your computer literacy, organisational skills and ability to interrogate documents or data for accuracy. Show your understanding of customer‑service orientation and ethical governance, as these are explicitly mentioned behavioural competencies. Ensure your Matric certificate and experience meet the requirement, and if you have worked in a legal, claims or administrative support context, make this clear. Apply promptly — though no specific closing date is visible, recruitment via job boards indicates urgency. #J-18808-Ljbffr
