Work-Force
Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Medical Records Clerk in Colesberg, and we encourage applicants from across Northern Cape to consider this opportunity.
The Role
This Medical Records Clerk role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Colesberg. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the health jobs pipeline across Northern Cape.
The successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Colesberg team on trust, and the Medical Records Clerk role will feel that from week one.
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 Colesberg 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 Colesberg teams, and the new Medical Records Clerk will feel that from the first week.
Meet the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the health jobs side of the business inside out. The Colesberg group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
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.
On top of that, the team mix in Colesberg reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
A Typical Day
Importantly, 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.
Practically speaking, the Colesberg 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.
Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Colesberg.
Working in Colesberg
Notably, the role is based in Colesberg, in the Kathu iron ore belt. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Colesberg 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 Colesberg.
Why This Role
Notably, the company invests in the people who join it. From structured onboarding to ongoing skills development, you will find clear paths to grow your career in health jobs from your base in Colesberg. Many colleagues across Northern Cape have moved into senior roles after starting in positions just like this one.
Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Northern Cape.
Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Colesberg teams.
Crucially, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Colesberg keep progressing.
