Occupational Health Nurse (Mine Clinic)

You'll run patient care on a busy shift at a community day clinic in Brackenfell, from admission to discharge. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Brackenfell, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Admit and discharge patients and explain medication and follow-up to families
• Monitor vital signs, fluid balance and early warning scores, and escalate changes quickly
• Take part in ward rounds with doctors and record the new orders
• Do wound care, catheter care and IV line management to unit protocol

• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts
• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• Current SANC registration as a Professional Nurse, with this year's annual fees paid
• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
• Solid knowledge of medication safety and the Nursing Act scope of practice

• Dispensing licence (Section 22A(15)) for clinic posts
• Experience with electronic patient records or bedside charting systems

• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay
• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation

• Check your SANC receipt is for this year before you apply; an unpaid annual fee gets your application parked.
• Put your SANC number and the units you've worked in at the very top of your CV; recruiters filter on these first.
