Caregiver

Whether you are an experienced Caregiver or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Ballito. The team hires on merit and across communities in KwaZulu-Natal.

The Role

This Caregiver role sits within the health jobs function in Ballito. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across KwaZulu-Natal.

Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.

Why Join Us

Career development may be available depending on the role, business needs and the hiring organisation’s policies.

Crucially, the package, working arrangements and any available support will be confirmed by the hiring organisation for this vacancy.

Day in the Life

You start your shift with a thorough handover, picking up patient histories, treatment plans and any concerns from the previous team. The morning is paced but purposeful — vital signs, medication rounds, bedside conversations — and you’re constantly switching between clinical tasks and the very human work of reassuring patients and families. Multi-disciplinary rounds give you a chance to advocate for your patients, and by the time you hand over again, you have done meaningful work that makes a real difference to the people in your care.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Ballito.

Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.

Your Role

• Operate and care for clinical equipment in line with manufacturer guidelines
• Maintain a clean, safe and welcoming clinical environment
• Manage stock levels of consumables and report shortages timeously
• Monitor vital signs and escalate clinical concerns to the attending clinician
• Provide compassionate, patient-centred care in line with scope of practice

What You’ll Need

• Willingness to work shifts, weekends and public holidays as required
• Up-to-date immunisations as required by occupational health policy
• Proven clinical experience appropriate to the level advertised
• Strong infection prevention and control awareness
• Working knowledge of POPIA as it applies to patient information
