Find Your Path As a Community Health Worker
Community Health Workers (CHW) are the heart of South African healthcare. As a CHW, you become a trusted lifeline in your community.
You educate families on health issues, support mothers and children, help manage chronic diseases like HIV and diabetes, and connect people to essential clinic and social services.
You are a counsellor, a health promoter, and a community champion all in one.
This is more than a job. It’s a calling to serve, empower, and make a visible difference in your neighbours’ lives every day.
- This is an exciting time to join this field. After years of hard work, community health workers are now permanent, recognized employees within the public health system.
- They offer job security with stable salaries.
- You’re not just an assistant. You’re the essential backbone of healthcare, providing critical services that clinics cannot reach directly.
- This role is a solid stepping stone to a meaningful and stable future in public health.
