Post-Operative Recovery Nurse Pair — Private Family, Dubai

A private family in Dubai has asked Medical Staff Talent to introduce a pair of UK & European-trained Post-Operative Recovery Nurses. The family wants two nurses to manage recovery after a family member’s planned spinal surgery and to remain with the household afterwards.

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. The rhythm follows the family rather than a rota: a six-day week, with availability at any hour when needed.

The Mandate

• Post-operative care after spinal surgery: wounds, pain, mobility and observation.
• Working with the surgeon, physiotherapist and family physician.
• Early recognition of complications.
• General nursing care for the family 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Visas for international travel are arranged and paid for by 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.
