Occupational Health Nurse (Mine Clinic) – Fixed-Term

This is a registered nursing post at a community day clinic in Sandton, with your own patient load and a say in the care plan. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Sandton, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Report adverse events and near misses on the incident system the same day
• Supervise enrolled nurses and nursing assistants on your side of the ward
• Give scheduled medication, including Schedule 5 and 6 drugs, and sign the register
• Admit and discharge patients and explain medication and follow-up to families
• Run emergency trolley checks and respond to cardiac arrest calls
• Keep clinical notes clear, timed and signed for audits and legal records

• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
• 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

• Post-basic qualification in critical care, theatre or advanced midwifery
• IMCI and NIMART training for primary health care work

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

• For night-duty posts, say clearly in your cover note that you want permanent nights, as many applicants only want days.
• Put your SANC number and the units you've worked in at the very top of your CV; recruiters filter on these first.
