Staff Nurse — Government, Military and Private Hospitals, Saudi Arabia

Ministry of Health, military, university and private hospitals across Saudi Arabia recruit foreign-trained nurses for wards, intensive care, emergency departments, operating theatres and clinics. Most posts are filled through licensed recruitment agencies in the nurse's home country, and every one of them depends on a licence from the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS).

What the work involves

Assessing and caring for patients, giving medication and treatments, monitoring and recording observations, working with doctors and the wider clinical team, and educating patients and families. ICU, ER, OR and paediatric posts add specialist care and usually ask for specialist experience.

Requirements

• A nursing qualification and current registration in good standing in your home country
• SCFHS professional classification and registration, applied for through Mumaris Plus, with DataFlow primary source verification and the SCFHS classification exam booked through Prometric
• Clinical experience, commonly one to two years, and more for specialist units
• BLS, and ACLS or PALS for acute and paediatric roles, where the hospital asks for them
• Clear English; Arabic helps with patients

How the pay works

• No statutory minimum wage applies to expatriate workers, so the offer itself is the only floor
• Your SCFHS classification, the type of hospital and the recruiting agency all move the figure
• Get basic salary, housing, transport, flights and medical cover as separate lines in writing

Before you apply

Use a legal recruitment route and never pay for a visa. Indian nurses are recruited only through eMigrate. Pakistani nurses should use an agency licensed by the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment, and Filipino nurses a Department of Migrant Workers-licensed agency.

Note: pay, licensing requirements, contract terms and recruitment rules are set by each hospital, SCFHS and the authorities in your home country — not by JobGader. Confirm the details with the employer and the official sources before applying.
