A home-based care agency in Gqeberha needs someone kind and reliable to look after patients who can't manage alone. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Gqeberha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
