Mediclinic Opens Management Assistant Internship With No Experience Required

Mediclinic Durbanville has opened one Management Assistant internship opportunity in Cape Town for applicants with an N6 qualification from an accredited TVET institution. No previous work experience is required, and applications close on 2 November 2026.

The internship is designed as a TVET work-integrated learning opportunity, allowing the successful applicant to apply classroom knowledge in a professional healthcare environment while developing practical and professional workplace skills.

The opportunity is based at Mediclinic Durbanville in Durbanville, Cape Town, and the workplace type is on-site. The reference number is 74962.

One Management Assistant internship is available

Mediclinic is recruiting one Intern: Management Assistant for its Durbanville facility.

The vacancy is intended to provide structured development by connecting academic learning with practical workplace experience.

The main details are:

  • Position: Intern: Management Assistant
  • Employer: Mediclinic Southern Africa
  • Facility: Mediclinic Durbanville
  • Location: Durbanville, Cape Town, Western Cape
  • Reference number: 74962
  • Number of positions: 1
  • Workplace: On-site
  • Experience: No previous experience required
  • Closing date: 2 November 2026
  • Recruiter: Monique Joy Hector

No previous experience is required

One of the notable features of this Mediclinic opportunity is that no previous experience is required.

This means eligible applicants do not need to have already worked in a management assistant, administration or healthcare environment before applying.

However, applicants still need to meet the educational and skills requirements listed by Mediclinic.

The no-experience requirement should therefore not be interpreted as meaning that anyone with Grade 12 can apply. The advertised minimum education is an N6-level relevant tertiary qualification from an accredited TVET institution.

What qualification do you need?

Applicants must have a relevant tertiary qualification at N6 level obtained from an accredited TVET institution.

Mediclinic lists the following fields:

  • Marketing
  • Finance
  • Human Resources
  • Management Assistant
  • Secretarial

Applicants should check that their qualification falls within one of the fields specified in the official vacancy before submitting an application.

This is a TVET work-integrated learning opportunity

The internship is structured around the requirements of a TVET work-integrated learning programme.

This is important for applicants who need practical workplace exposure connected to their studies.

Rather than simply being an ordinary entry-level administrative job, the opportunity is intended to help the intern integrate knowledge gained through classroom learning with practical competencies developed in the workplace.

Applicants should therefore understand how the internship relates to their qualification and work-integrated learning requirements before applying.

What will the Management Assistant intern do?

The main purpose of the internship is professional and skills development.

The advertised responsibility areas include meeting the requirements of the relevant TVET work-integrated learning programme, developing personal effectiveness and maintaining professional standards.

The intern will also be expected to continue learning in their field of study and maintain professional standards in line with Mediclinic’s organisational values.

Stakeholder and client service are part of the role

The position also includes maintaining stakeholder relationships and client service.

This means communication and professional interaction are important parts of the opportunity.

Applicants should therefore be comfortable communicating with people in a professional environment and should understand the importance of appropriate client service.

Mediclinic specifically lists telephone etiquette among the required job skills and knowledge.

Computer literacy is required

Applicants should have computer literacy, particularly Microsoft Office skills.

Computer skills can be important in management assistant and administrative environments, where interns may work with documents, email, spreadsheets and other office systems.

If you have genuine Microsoft Office skills, make sure these are clearly reflected in your CV.

Do not claim proficiency in software that you have not used.

English communication skills are required

Mediclinic also requires English written and verbal proficiency.

The requirement applies to both written and spoken communication.

Applicants should therefore be able to communicate clearly in English in a professional workplace.

Combined with the requirement for telephone etiquette, communication is an important part of the skills profile for this internship.

Where is the internship based?

The internship is based at Mediclinic Durbanville, in Durbanville, Cape Town, Western Cape.

The advertised workplace type is on-site, so applicants should be prepared to attend the workplace rather than expecting this to be a remote internship.

Applicants who live outside Cape Town should consider the location and travel requirements before applying.

Who should consider applying?

The opportunity may be suitable for students or recent learners who have completed the relevant N6-level qualification and need workplace exposure connected to their TVET studies.

It could be particularly relevant to people studying or completing qualifications in:

  • Management Assistant
  • Secretarial studies
  • Human Resources
  • Finance
  • Marketing

The key point is that applicants must meet Mediclinic’s stated N6 requirement and the qualification must come from an accredited TVET institution.

What makes this different from the Mediclinic Care Worker vacancy?

DailySpark recently covered another Mediclinic opportunity for a Care Worker.

This Management Assistant opportunity is different.

The Care Worker position is a permanent healthcare support role with its own qualification and healthcare experience requirements.

The Management Assistant position is an internship focused on TVET work-integrated learning, and Mediclinic specifically states that no previous experience is required.

Applicants should therefore choose the opportunity that matches their qualifications rather than applying simply because both vacancies are advertised by Mediclinic.

Employment Equity preference

Mediclinic states that all applicants will be considered, while preference will be given in accordance with the Employment Equity Plan of Mediclinic Southern Africa.

The advert also notes that qualifying internal applicants or employees may receive preference.

Applicants should therefore focus on meeting the stated minimum requirements and submitting an accurate application.

A useful opportunity for N6 TVET students

The Mediclinic Management Assistant internship gives an eligible N6 TVET applicant the opportunity to gain practical exposure in a professional healthcare environment without needing previous work experience.

The role focuses on work-integrated learning, professional development, client service, stakeholder relations and continuous learning.

For applicants who meet the N6 requirement in Marketing, Finance, HR, Management Assistant or Secretarial studies, this could be a useful opportunity to move from classroom learning into practical workplace experience.

With one position available and applications closing on 2 November 2026, eligible applicants should review the official Mediclinic advert and submit their application before the deadline.
