Primary Health Care Nurse (PHC Clinic)

You'll run patient care on a busy shift at a mine health centre in Soweto, from admission to discharge. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is in Soweto (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Take part in ward rounds with doctors and record the new orders
• Take handover at the bedside and plan care for your allocated patients
• Run emergency trolley checks and respond to cardiac arrest calls
• 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
• Prepare patients for theatre and receive them back from recovery
• Do full patient assessments and update nursing care plans every shift

• Clean criminal record
• You can work 12-hour day or night shifts, weekends and public holidays
• Nursing qualification via the R425 diploma or R174 degree route
• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts

• IMCI and NIMART training for primary health care work
• Dispensing licence (Section 22A(15)) for clinic posts

• Night-shift and weekend allowances on top of basic pay
• Medical aid and pension fund contributions after probation
• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training

• 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.
