Unlock your potential:

Are you a registered Professional Nurse with a passion for quality, compliance, and clinical governance? We are looking for a Compliance Nurse to join our growing Xyla team in Cape Town.

In this role, you will provide clinically informed workforce assurance within Xyla's compliance and onboarding processes, ensuring healthcare professionals meet the required professional, regulatory, and clinical standards before deployment. Working closely with Clinical Governance, Compliance, Recruitment, and Operational teams, you will play a vital role in supporting safe and effective healthcare delivery across Xyla services.

Reporting into Xyla's Chief Nurse, you will review clinical documentation, validate professional registrations, assess competency evidence, conduct clinical screening assessments, and provide expert guidance on compliance matters. You will act as a key link between compliance and clinical teams, helping to ensure robust workforce assurance processes and supporting informed decisions where compliance risks or documentation gaps arise.

• Support waiver and override processes by assessing outstanding compliance requirements and associated risks.

• Conduct annual competency reviews and provide feedback to clinicians regarding compliance and professional requirements.

• Undertake clinical screening interviews and structured assessments for prospective clinicians, including review and scoring through HireVue.

• Communicate directly with clinicians regarding outstanding documentation, competency requirements, and onboarding queries.

• Contribute to clinical audits, incident reviews, governance activities, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Work collaboratively with UK and South African stakeholders to ensure consistent application of compliance standards and processes.
