Job Description

Location Overview:  Challenge yourself to work in a diverse environment where you can work side by side with like- minded healthcare professionals in state of the art, well-funded facilities where the opportunities for professional and personal development are plentiful. Discover the magic of Arabian culture, cosmopolitan cities, and ancient rolling sand dunes of Saudi Arabia. Many, who have worked in the Gulf States, have had the experience of a lifetime, made lifelong friends, travelled the world, and returned home financially secure. When you have time off you may want to venture out and see some of this unique country. Steep ridges, rolling dunes and dazzlingly green oasis contrast with the underwater wonders of the Red Sea coral reefs. Lose yourself in the market-place bustle of the souks; or wander out to gaze at remains of the long-lost civilisations that flourished & declined along the old spice routes
