Department Of Health Employer Reviews

To work from Monday to Friday and Saturdays if needs arises. I had learned more about the management skills. i am managing more than 120 employees with 6 operational managers.

I am currently working as the State Accountant for the Department of Health. I am working in OR Tambo District and we report to the provincial office in Bhisho. I had an opportunity to work closely with the Financial Manager and I have learnt a lot in the finance field, specifically compilation of reports. We work as a team, after a capturer has captured – more... the payment in the system, it is my responsibility to verify the payment batch before i can authorise the payment. The challenge at times is that our hospitals in the district are in rural areas where there are no facilities, so it becomes difficult at times to consolidate the reports for the entire district and that becomes a threat in meeting deadlines. I enjoy working in the financial field because i put the theory which i learnt from school into practise. – less

A typical day a work was to keep a balance between the section of DOH and the DOH and other various agencies. The co-workers were excellent and were willing to help each other. I learned life values and how to show compassion for clients outside of the department. The hardest part of the job was not being able to complete some parts of it for long periods – more... of time. The most enjoyable part of the job was finally seeing programs, cases, etc., fall into place making it seem that you have the satisfaction that you have completed what the public expected. – less

the department gave me a lot of experience until now as i was fresh from school with no clue of the practical work environment. the management is flexible allowing us to be free and enjoy while we learn an work. the hardest part is working with limited resources as this is a rural area. the most enjoyable is that i was able to futher my interests like – more... Sports and Community development striking a balance for my life. – less

The clients make working here worthwhile, my co-workers provide me with a good work atmosphere, but management sometimes has communication issues. Overall its a decent place to work.

First started at DoH as a temp and ended with a 5-tear contract which was terminated due to cutbacks.

I found it to be a very friendly place and everyone was helpful. I had contact with upper management and always got on with everyone. I made many friends whilst there and still keep in contact with some of them.
