Personal Administration

 

The Hospital will process a variety of documents that are required for the conduct of your work and in relation to government regulations for expatriate employees and other visitors.   These include your work visa, Hospital ID Card, and Residence Permit (Iquama - pronounced Igama).     In order to expedite these processes you must bring the following:

  • Passport size photographs (10)

  • Original qualifications certificates

  • Original professional license for clinical and nursing staff

  • Passport

  • Marriage Certificate if accompanied by family

Things to bring - Men:

  • A track-suit and trainers if you wish to use the Gym or run outside (shorts can be worn indoors only)

  • Swimming shorts for use in the pool

  • Tennis racket, though these can be purchased locally

  • Soccer boots with rubber studs or grips, though these can be purchased locally - there is plenty of opportunity to play, but the ground is very hard

 

 

Things to bring - Ladies

 

The Hospital provides all employees with furnished accommodation that is equipped with basic items.   Staff also have access to recreational facilities that include a Fitness Gym and Swimming Pool.   We have asked some of our current staff what they thought new employees should bring with them and this is what they said:

 

  • Make sure your electric hair dryer has dual voltage (the Hospital uses 110/120 v)

  • If you manicure your nails, bring some nail-boards, they can be difficult to find locally

  • Swimming costume if you want to use the pool or tan

  • Trainers and track suit or other conservative sporting attire - there is an outdoor track for jogging/walking

  • Tennis racket if you play the game, but these can be purchased locally

  • For nurses, you should bring a pair of white shoes

  • A cardigan, jumper or jacket for wearing in the winter months which have similar weather to a UK autumn

All staff:

 

Conservative clothes for off-duty time - please remember that you are considered a guest in Saudi Arabia and it is appropriate that you dress in accordance with local culture and custom.

 

If you are taking any prescription medication, please ensure that you bring a copy of the prescription or a letter from a physician.
