Post-Operative Recovery Nurse Pair — Private Family, Dammam

A private family in Dammam, in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, has asked Medical Staff Talent to introduce a pair of UK & European-trained Post-Operative Recovery Nurses. A family member is coming home after cardiac surgery, and the family wants recovery managed at home by two experienced nurses.

The family always employs two nurses so that care never depends on one person. The two permanent nurses alternate daily 8-hour shifts, with on-call cover overnight. As is usual for household appointments in the Gulf, the family expects availability around the clock and a six-day working week.

The Mandate

• Post-operative care after cardiac surgery: wounds, observations, mobilisation and medication.
• Following the surgical team’s recovery plan.
• Early recognition of complications and escalation.
• Supporting the patient’s return to normal activity and travel.
• Complete confidentiality, under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

Requirements

• Registered nurse trained in the UK or Europe, with surgical ward, recovery or post-operative experience.
• At least 5 years of post-registration experience.
• Comfortable working as one of two nurses alternating 8- or 12-hour shifts, with careful handovers.
• Experience in theatre recovery or a surgical high-dependency unit is valued.
• Fluent English and a calm, courteous manner.
• Availability to begin within six weeks of offer.
• Willingness to relocate alone to a live-in, single-status appointment, and to travel worldwide with the family at short notice.
• Arabic language skills are a strong advantage.

Package

• From €5,000 a month.
• Medical insurance is covered; professional indemnity insurance is not included.
• Flights and travel are always paid for by the family.
• The salary is agreed directly between the family and the clinician; each clinician should take advice from their own tax adviser on whether the income is taxable in their circumstances.
• Private accommodation in the residence, provided free.
• Permanent role with annual leave, under a contract renewed yearly with the family.

Scope of Engagement

Medical Staff Talent introduces and verifies clinicians. The engagement is contracted directly between the family and the clinician, and all local arrangements (visa, licensed entity, coordination with local clinics) remain with the family’s own office and advisers.
