Recruitment Experience Profco-KFSH &RC

Having completed 30 years with the National Health Service I was to re evaluate my position and future, based on personal and not professional demands.
If I may recall my first ever lecture on joining the NHS in 1981, the title of which was named the" 4c's of health care".
o    Care
o    Compassion
o    Communication
o    Common sense

The presenter, as so often in the day, was a Nun who had been a clinical tutor for several years, she was both authoritarian and assertive in her manor and speech, this presentation of all the many lectures I have sat in over the years has remained with me as a value and a concept of what health, personal and social care "corner stone's" are, and should be.

The reason I mention this is because from my first point of contact and day of formal application, I have as a person seeking employment and that option being a "radical" decision in terms of moving my employer my country and sacrificing daily personal contact with my children truly witnessed and experienced at first hand all these values from both the potential employer (KFSH & RC) and the Agency (Profco). Throughout the full process of my recruitment to my start date and beyond their support facilitated an objective decision, based on the information pack, meetings, telephone calls and e-mails.

Having resigned from a senior position within a District General Hospital of Head of Nursing for the Division of Medicine, serving a population of 300,000 (A&E, 10 Specialist Wards, Patient Flow, Gastroenterology Departments, Specialist Nurses) I am well aware of the economic constraints presently being felt within the services and particularly on its staff presently within the UK. I also considered the factor that the "job for life" is no longer available, making decisions harder and options to be considered broader,  I would like to assure you that whatever your anxieties, questions or skills you have when considering a career in the Saudi Arabian Kingdom, the process is also designed for you and will provide the welfare & support you need to consider such a decision.
