Important correction to the circulated post
The official advert calls DOT/WIL/2026/3 Legal Services, and specifies N6 Legal Services or Legal Practice. It does not state “Legal Secretary” as the qualification in the official advert.
For DOT/WIL/2026/1, the official advert specifically lists Office Administration, Public Management, Administration, Public Administration and Business Management. So a Management Assistant qualification should be checked against the exact qualification name on your N6 certificate before applying; the official advert does not separately name “Management Assistant.”
Documents required
The Department states that applicants must submit:
1. A new Z83 application form
2. A recent, updated comprehensive CV
The Z83 must state the post and reference number being applied for. The Department’s advert specifically instructs applicants to use a new Z83.
Application email
For example, your email subject should clearly contain the relevant reference:
DOT/WIL/2026/1 – Public Management N6
DOT/WIL/2026/2 – Human Resource Management N6
DOT/WIL/2026/3 – Legal Services N6
DOT/WIL/2026/4 – Financial Management N6
Closing date
9 October 2026.
The Department also states that correspondence will be limited to short-listed candidates.
What to prepare now
