Occupational Health Nurse (Mine Clinic) – Experienced

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a mine health centre in Lephalale that needs a steady pair of hands. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Lephalale, Limpopo, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Do wound care, catheter care and IV line management to unit protocol
• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records
• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register
• Run emergency trolley checks and respond to cardiac arrest calls
• Take part in ward rounds with doctors and record the new orders
• Monitor vital signs, fluid balance and early warning scores, and escalate changes quickly

• Clean criminal record
• Current SANC registration as a Professional Nurse, with this year's annual fees paid
• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route
• Calm under pressure when a patient's condition turns quickly
• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience

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

• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay
• Study support for post-basic specialities
• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation

• 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.
