Professional Nurse (Medical Ward) – Fixed-Term

Bring your SANC registration and your ward experience to a provincial district hospital in Benoni that needs a steady pair of hands. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The work is in Benoni, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.
