Nursing in Saudi Arabia with Professional Connections

Welcome to Profco's web pages. We hope you enjoy browsing our site and learning more about living and working in Saudi Arabia.

We are contracted by our client hospitals to assist nurses whose primary nursing qualifications are from Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North America. If you are from another country you need to find a Saudi Arabian recruiter in your home country.

Our services to our candidates are free. All you will pay for is your medical examination, police clearance and the authentication of your documents to facilitate Saudi Nursing Council Registration. These are required once you have an offer of employment.

It takes only three to six months from application to your deployment to Saudi Arabia. This depends on your notice period to your current employer as well as your preferences for when you want to travel.

Our hospitals are the leading tertiary referral centers. You will join a growing number of Western nurses working in Saudi Arabia. We have a post for all specialities, so whatever your specialty we can assist. Even if you do not see a job suited to your experience send us your CV. Many jobs do not get posted, and you will be waitlisted for the next available post.

We have posts for Registered Nurses, Nurse Coordinators, Clinical Resource Nurses, Educators, Ward Managers and Nurse Managers and Program Directors.

Contracts for nurses are "single status".

Other Shortlisting criteria

Female nurse vacancies mostly.

Some posts for male nurses at senior level, ward manager and above.

The majority of employment contracts for nurses in Saudi Arabia are "single status", which means that even if you are married, your spouse and/or family members cannot accompany you to Saudi Arabia. Senior Administrative and Consultant Medical staff contracts allow family members to travel to and live in Saudi Arabia.

Contracts in Saudi Arabia are generally for one or two years, and are renewable by mutual agreement.
