Post-Operative Recovery Nurse Pair — Private Family, Doha

A private family in Doha has asked Medical Staff Talent to introduce a pair of UK & European-trained Post-Operative Recovery Nurses. A family member returning from bariatric surgery abroad needs careful recovery nursing, and the family wants the two nurses to remain afterwards for general care.

The family always employs two nurses so that care never depends on one person. The two permanent nurses alternate daily 12-hour shifts, so that one of them is always on duty. Six-day weeks and 24/7 availability are normal in Gulf household appointments, and the family plans around both.

The Mandate

• Post-operative care after bariatric surgery: wounds, hydration, nutrition plan and mobility.
• Working with the surgical team, dietitian and family physician.
• Early recognition of complications and prompt escalation.
• General nursing support for the household once recovery is complete.
• 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.
• Tissue viability training 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.
• 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.
• The family arranges and pays for the visas needed for travel abroad.

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.
