Occupational Health Nurse (Mine Clinic)

Patients in this community day clinic in Paarl count on your clinical judgement every single shift. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Paarl; 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.
