Occupational Health Nurse (Mine Clinic) – Entry Level

This is a registered nursing post at a provincial district hospital in Gqeberha, with your own patient load and a say in the care plan. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Gqeberha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Do wound care, catheter care and IV line management to unit protocol
• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Take part in ward rounds with doctors and record the new orders
• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward

• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route
• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience
• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts
• Solid knowledge of medication safety and the Nursing Act scope of practice

• Unit manager or shift leader experience
• Dispensing licence (Section 22A(15)) for clinic posts
• IMCI and NIMART training for primary health care work

• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay

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