Occupational Health Nurse (Mine Clinic)

Patients in this step-down and sub-acute facility in Mamelodi count on your clinical judgement every single shift. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

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