THE Health Department has warned the community to be aware of bogus job adverts that uses the department’s name and fraudulently invites people to apply for vacancies at different health facilities. The department on Tuesday said that the website, www.neuvoo.co.za, is advertising posts in the name of Leratong Hospital requesting an amount of R1 000 upfront.
“Another perpetrator is alleged to have been scamming people seeking employment by telling them they would need to pay R1 800 to get employment at Helen Joseph Hospital.

“We want to state firmly that no money needs to be paid to apply for a job in the public service. The department advertises vacancies through appropriate and trustworthy channels such as Gauteng Online portal, Department of Public Service website and publish in relevant media,” said the department.
The department said employment application forms at hospitals are dropped in designated boxes and these are processed through the short-listing and interview process.
