Medical Records Clerk

Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Medical Records Clerk in Kuruman, and we encourage applicants from across Northern Cape to consider this opportunity.

About the Opportunity

An experienced Medical Records Clerk is needed to support operations in Kuruman. 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.

The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Kuruman also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Medical Records Clerk 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 Kuruman

Equally, the role is based in Kuruman, close to the Sishen mining hub. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Kuruman and the broader Northern Cape region.

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 Kuruman.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Kuruman, Northern Cape.

Many candidates already living within reach of Kuruman 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.

Your Future Here

Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The health jobs space in Kuruman offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in Northern Cape.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Kuruman team member.

Beyond that, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Kuruman 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.

About the Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the health jobs side of the business inside out. The Kuruman group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

In addition, the team mix in Kuruman reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.

A Typical Day

Beyond that, 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 Kuruman.

On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

Importantly, the Kuruman office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

The Environment

Notably, 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.

In addition, 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.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Kuruman site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Northern Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

Daily Duties

• Educate patients and families on treatment plans and self-care
• Assist with admissions, discharges and patient transfers
• Provide compassionate, patient-centred care in line with scope of practice
• Manage stock levels of consumables and report shortages timeously
• Participate in multi-disciplinary ward rounds and care planning

Minimum Requirements

• Sound clinical judgement and ability to work calmly under pressure
• Working knowledge of POPIA as it applies to patient information
• BLS, ACLS or PALS certification where applicable to the role
• Strong patient-centred communication and interpersonal skills
• Up-to-date immunisations as required by occupational health policy
• Proven clinical experience appropriate to the level advertised

On top of that, if your CV speaks to the points above, this role is worth a closer look.
