NICU-Experienced Newborn Nurse Pair — Private Family, Jeddah

A private family in Jeddah has asked Medical Staff Talent to introduce a pair of UK & European-trained NICU-experienced Newborn Nurses. A baby with a heart condition diagnosed before birth will come home after surgery, and the family wants two nurses with NICU experience.

The family always employs two nurses so that care never depends on one person. The two nurses alternate 8-hour shifts during the day and evening, with the night covered on call from within the residence. Availability 24/7 and a six-day week are part of the appointment, as is usual with private families in the Gulf.

The Mandate

• Care for an infant after cardiac surgery: feeding, observations and medication.
• Working with the paediatric cardiologist and neonatal team.
• Recognising early signs of deterioration and escalating promptly.
• Supporting the parents and planning safe travel later in the year.
• Complete confidentiality, under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

Requirements

• Registered nurse trained in the UK or Europe, with neonatal intensive care (NICU) 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.
• NLS certification is valued.
• Fluent English and a calm, courteous manner.
• Able to start within six weeks of an 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.
