About This Position

This Medical Records Clerk role sits within the health jobs function in Oudtshoorn. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Western Cape.

The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Oudtshoorn operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the health jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Oudtshoorn much easier.

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Oudtshoorn teams, and the new Medical Records Clerk will feel that from the first week.

Based in Oudtshoorn

Working in Oudtshoorn means a place on the N2 corridor toward the Cape Winelands, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Western Cape region, and the Oudtshoorn office benefits from those long-standing connections.

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 Oudtshoorn.

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

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.

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

Equally, the Oudtshoorn 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.

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