ICU Critical Care Nurse Pair — Home Care for a 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 ICU Critical Care Nurses. A family member with a long-term respiratory condition now needs critical-care-level nursing at home.

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

• Respiratory critical care at home, including non-invasive ventilation and oxygen.
• Monitoring, medication and early recognition of deterioration.
• Working with the intensivist, respiratory physician and family physician.
• Keeping detailed records and handovers between the two nurses.
• Complete confidentiality, under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

Requirements

• Registered nurse trained in the UK or Europe, with adult intensive care experience, including ventilated patients.
• At least 6 years of post-registration experience.
• Comfortable working as one of two nurses alternating 8- or 12-hour shifts, with careful handovers.
• A critical care post-registration course 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.
