Working in KAMC & KSA

Working in Saudi Arabia offers a unique opportunity to work with a multicultural group of skilled and devoted professionals. Nursing services currently have approximately 3, 000 Nursing and non-Nursing positions comprising personnel from over 44 different nationality bases across the globe. This nationality multiplicity reflects the diversity in culture and clinical skills within nursing services. Joint Commission International (JCI) standards of care and practice have been adopted as the unifying standard.

We promote a distinguished positive working environment of life long learning for nurses, students, and other health care providers, focusing on continuous quality initiatives, evidence based practice and research. As a result there are many resources available to our nurses in terms of `on the floor' support. Each specialty area has its own Clinical Resource Nurse who is employed especially to support and facilitate staff learning and skill building. We are committed to career advancement, recruitment and retention of expert resources, and promotion of state of the art technology and nursing informatics.

We strive to establish and maintain dynamic academic settings that lead to the most attractive career opportunities in nursing by providing a broad range of educational programs e.g.

  • BLS, PALS, ACLS, PHTLS, ATLS, ATCN, FCCS, and Disaster Management... these courses are internationally certified. They are taken through the Post Graduate Training Center, for a price (approx 50 pounds sterling).
  • Within Nursing Education we offer several courses free of charge... preceptorship, teaching and assessing nursing students, haemodynamics, and the Emergency Nursing Certificate - the latter at diploma / Bachelor's / Master's level - these are all credited by California Nursing Board. South Bank and the Saudi Council as well as our own University will pick up the Emergency Nursing Course.
  • A yearlong diploma in nursing and education management - which our employees can access, for a price.
