You would generally need a Diploma or Degree in Nursing, registered with the Health Professions Councils of Namibia (HPCNA). Additionally, a certificate in Primary Health Care or Community Health Nursing is often highly preferred for this specialized role.

Daily duties typically include providing basic medical care, first aid, and conducting health screenings for employees. You would also be involved in health education, managing minor injuries, and maintaining accurate medical records.

Employers in Namibia expect strong adherence to health and safety protocols, as well as cultural sensitivity when interacting with a diverse workforce. Professionalism, reliability, and the ability to work independently or as part of a small team are highly valued.

Starting as a Junior PHC Nurse can lead to roles as a Senior PHC Nurse, or even Health and Safety Officer with further experience and training. Opportunities may also exist to specialize in areas like occupational health or pursue further education to become an advanced practice nurse.

Most employers in Namibia offer standard benefits including annual leave, sick leave, and often contributions to a medical aid scheme. Pension fund contributions and other allowances might also be part of the compensation package, varying by employer.
