Frequently Asked Questions

This means you will likely oversee multiple wards or departments (a specific clinical area) rather than just one unit. You will supervise the Operational Managers of those units and coordinate services at a broader hospital level.
Apply via the official portal at www.mpuhealth.gov.za. Ensure your Z83 is fully completed and signed. Do not upload certificates at this stage; only a detailed CV is required alongside the Z83.
While a Diploma/Degree in Nursing Administration and Management is listed as an 'added advantage,' it is not a mandatory requirement. However, you must prove at least 3 years of recognizable experience at a management level (e.g., as an Operational Manager).
