Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Enrolled Nurse in Kathu, and we encourage applicants from across Northern Cape to consider this opportunity.
What This Role Involves
An experienced Enrolled Nurse is needed to support operations in Kathu. The role forms part of how the business keeps its health jobs portfolio strong in Northern Cape.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the health jobs team in Northern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the health jobs group in Kathu.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Enrolled Nurse to step into the health jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
Based in Kathu
Working in Kathu means a place within the Upington solar corridor, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Northern Cape region, and the Kathu office benefits from those long-standing connections.
Many candidates already living within reach of Kathu cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Northern Cape economy.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Kathu.
Candidates should review the listed location, schedule and travel requirements before applying for this role in Kathu, Northern Cape.
What We Offer
You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Kathu colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the health jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
Career development may be available depending on the role, business needs and the hiring organisation’s policies.
The package, working arrangements and any available support will be confirmed by the hiring organisation for this vacancy.
On top of that, the role’s development opportunities, training and benefits, if offered, will be set out in the final vacancy details.
Growing With Us
Notably, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the health jobs team in Kathu have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Kathu team member.
Beyond that, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Kathu have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Northern Cape.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
The Environment
In addition, the environment is clinical, regulated and patient-centred. Shift work, infection control protocols and clear scope-of-practice boundaries are part of every working day.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Kathu site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Equally, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.
Practically speaking, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Northern Cape.
