What the work may be like

Netcare is South Africa's largest private hospital group, and working here means being part of an organisation that touches the lives of millions of patients every year across 49 hospitals. The clinical standards are high — Netcare Education and the company's bursary programmes reflect a genuine investment in developing nursing and allied health professionals.

The scale of the group provides unusual career mobility: a nurse who joins an entry-level role in Durban can move through the network to specialist units in Johannesburg or Cape Town. Employee medical aid is provided from appointment, and the culture across most Netcare facilities is team-orientated and professionally supportive.

If you're building a clinical career in private healthcare, Netcare is the most prestigious starting point in South Africa.
