Overview
On top of that, an experienced Nursing Auxiliary is needed to support operations in Richards Bay. The role forms part of how the business keeps its health jobs portfolio strong in KwaZulu-Natal.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the health jobs team in KwaZulu-Natal make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
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 Richards Bay much easier.

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 Richards Bay.
Growing With Us
This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the health jobs team in Richards Bay have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Richards Bay have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across KwaZulu-Natal.
