Work-Force
Bring your skills as a Nursing Auxiliary to Durban and join a team that moves fast. This KwaZulu-Natal role is one to watch.
About the Opportunity
The organisation is investing in its Durban operation, and this Nursing Auxiliary position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the health jobs function and contribute to the wider KwaZulu-Natal business.
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.

Crucially, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Durban also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
What We Offer
Few roles let you see the impact of your work as quickly as this one. Every shift, project and decision in Durban contributes to real outcomes for clients and colleagues across the health jobs space in KwaZulu-Natal.
Career development may be available depending on the role, business needs and the hiring organisation’s policies.
