Working as an enrolled nursing auxiliary in Overport in 2026 means being part of a suburb that genuinely needs you.

The area has a strong community feel — you'll quickly get to know regular patients and the rhythms of the neighbourhood. Overport's commercial strip along Overport Drive keeps the area lively during business hours, and the proximity to Overport City means lunch options and banking are always close by. Colleagues in healthcare here tend to be practical, experienced, and supportive — small practices mean you're never just a number.

Minibus taxis are the most reliable way to reach Overport, with frequent routes running along Overport Drive from Durban CBD — expect to pay R8–R12 one way. Taxis from Chatsworth and Cato Manor connect directly to the Overport City rank. For a 07:30 shift start, board from the CBD by 07:00. Some buses serve the route but run less frequently than taxis, so don't rely on them for early shifts.

From the Overport City taxi rank, most GP practices and clinics are within a 5–10 minute walk along Overport Drive. Head south along Overport Drive for practices closer to the Chatsworth direction, or north toward the Cato Manor side. Overport City itself is your central landmark — if you're lost, ask anyone at the rank and they'll point you right.

Salary Range

R4,800 – R6,000 per month

According to ShiftMate placement data, ENAs in Overport earn between R4,800 and R6,000 per month.
