Nursing opportunities in the Middle East

Nursing – Saudi Arabia

Irish/UK Interviews will take place week commencing September 17th, 2012

Phone/Skype Interviews available also.

 

Background:

The Middle East is an intriguing and fascinating part of the world to spend some time in. If you are feeling adventurous and want to live amongst other cultures then a move to “the world’s last great forbidden kingdom” will provide the challenge you are looking for.

With a wonderful network amongst the expatriate community you will work alongside people from all over the world, have opportunities to travel to new and exotic places and open your mind to other cultures and ways of life.

 

The largest sea of sand on the planet is home to dunes the size of ships and the Arabian Oryx, one of the most beautiful animals on earth, also lives there. The coast is home to sensation-full souqs and lovely coral houses, once the abode of its moneyed merchants. Off its shores lie Saudi’s Red Sea riches – reefs that rank among the least spoilt and most spectacular in the world. Most memorable for many, however, is the traditional Bedouin hospitality that, like the sand of the Empty Quarter, seems to go on and on forever.

 

One of the most attractive aspects for Nurses considering working in the Middle East is the tax free salary. In addition to your basic salary, benefits such as free accommodation, retention bonuses, travel and living allowances and medical cover make Nursing in this location a fantastic opportunity for you to save money while living and travelling in new and exciting destinations.
