• Do wound care, catheter care and IV line management to unit protocol
• Take part in ward rounds with doctors and record the new orders

• Clean criminal record
• Valid BLS certificate; ACLS or PALS for ICU and emergency posts
• At least 1 year of post-community-service ward experience

• Post-basic qualification in critical care, theatre or advanced midwifery
• Dispensing licence (Section 22A(15)) for clinic posts
• Unit manager or shift leader experience

• Funded CPD points and in-house clinical training
• Paid SANC annual fees at some groups
