Right to Care company profile

Right to Care is one of South Africa's most impactful NGOs — a PEPFAR and USAID-funded organisation delivering HIV/AIDS treatment and comprehensive healthcare across Southern Africa. The mission is not a corporate tagline here; it is the reason the organisation exists, and the staff culture reflects that deeply held purpose.

PEPFAR funding from the US government provides a level of financial stability uncommon in the NGO sector. The work takes you into communities across Gauteng, KZN, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga where the clinical impact is immediate and visible.

For healthcare professionals — nurses, community health workers, data capturers — who want to combine clinical skills with genuine social impact, Right to Care is one of the most meaningful employers in South Africa.

Interested candidates can apply for positions at Right to Care through the organisation’s careers portal on its website or via postings on South African jobs platforms. Applications are first screened for relevant health qualifications or Matric plus accredited training for community health worker roles, after which shortlisted candidates complete competency interviews and may undertake practical assessments focused on HIV, TB or public health programme delivery.

Reference checks, background verifications and medical fitness screenings follow before an offer is extended, with the full process typically spanning four to eight weeks. Applicants should prepare by highlighting concrete experience in donor-funded or government health initiatives and demonstrating familiarity with digital health tools.
