Occupational Health Nurse (Mine Clinic)

This is a registered nursing post at a step-down and sub-acute facility in Tembisa, with your own patient load and a say in the care plan. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The work is in Tembisa, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.
