Post has a few meanings:
1) After. Pre is the opposite and means before. Pre world war 1 and Post world war 1.
2) The mail, or a post office.
3) A newspaper. The Washington Post.
4) A job or role.
#4 is what this is referring to. When you are stationed in the military, you are assigned a post. You are assigned or posted to a certain area or to a certain job. Outside of the military this context is also used, though rarely. It would be more common to ask someone what their role is in a company, as opposed to their post.
"office assistant" is definitely a job or role.
"post" is a job or a role.
"Help" is another name for an employee. "Help Wanted" means we're hiring. "Treat the help with respect," refers to the employees or staff.
I just have never heard "post help" used together without other words.

My initial thought was the same as Ryan's, but now that I see the context, I believe "post" is the (mainly British) term for "mail."
BTW, in the US, the word post is mainly used in the compound word "post office."

It might be in the form of post-() help such as post-operative help. The post is a suffix meaning after sth. hope I am right.
