Descrição da oferta de emprego

Provide clinical orientation coordination, readiness verification, ongoing professional support and auditable quality assurance for agency nursing personnel deployed to contracted Western Cape Department of Health (PGWC) facilities. The facilitator is a registered professional nurse and works with each facility’s authorised clinical leadership; the role does not replace the facility’s clinical governance or grant independent permission to practice in a specialist area.

• Current South African Nursing Council (SANC) registration as a Professional Nurse; annual status independently verified and recorded.
• Relevant clinical experience across hospital settings and demonstrable ability to teach, supervise and assess within own competence.
• Experience in induction, clinical education, quality assurance and incident escalation; familiarity with public-sector hospital practice is advantageous.
• Sound understanding of nursing scopes of practice, patient safety, confidentiality, infection prevention and documentation.
• Ability to travel between facilities, maintain accurate digital records and communicate with nursing management.
• Additional specialty qualification or expertise is required for the facilitator to personally assess specialist competencies; otherwise assessment must be performed by a facility-authorised specialty assessor.

Key accountabilities

A. Pre-placement clinical readiness

• Verify identity, current SANC category/status, qualifications, experience and role/ward requirements in coordination with recruitment and the facility.
• Check required training and evidence (e.g. life support, where specified by the facility); flag gaps and prevent unsupported claims of competency.
• Confirm allocation, shift, contact person and facility-specific induction arrangements before commencement.

B. Foundation and site orientation

• Coordinate a documented induction for every nurse, including agency obligations, facility access, reporting lines, ward location, emergency codes, escalation, infection prevention, medication and records policies.
• Use the facility’s current approved materials and obtain nurse and authorised facility sign-off.

C. Ward and specialist orientation

• Apply ward-specific checklists and identify high-risk competencies for ICU, emergency/trauma, psychiatry, theatre, maternity, neonatal and other areas.
• Arrange supervised exposure, demonstration and assessment by an authorised competent assessor where required.
• Record restrictions and do not release a nurse for independent specialist duties until the facility authorises them.

D. Ongoing support and monitoring

• Conduct planned visits and check-ins; respond to nurse and ward-manager feedback and emerging training needs.
• Coordinate remediation, reassignment or removal from duties where patient safety is at risk, following facility and AP escalation pathways.

E. Quality, incident and governance

• Maintain orientation and competency evidence, version-controlled checklists, training registers and expiry alerts.
• Escalate clinical incidents immediately through facility procedures and notify AP according to contract; preserve confidentiality and do not independently investigate beyond authority.
• Report trends, outstanding actions and completion metrics to AP and authorised PGWC contacts.

Deliverables and reporting

• Individual nurse readiness file and induction/ward orientation checklist.
• Specialist competency evidence or facility-authorised sign-off and restrictions register.
• Orientation schedule, attendance log, outstanding-actions register and refresher/re-orientation log.
• Monthly dashboard and documented liaison with hospital nursing management.

AP Medical is a long standing professional agency servicing PGWC facilities. Only professional, experience candidates with proven track record will be considered for this position.
