CONTRACT TYPE

- 1-year contract with ample opportunities for extension.

- Extensive professional development opportunities.

Location: Southeast of the Island.

SALARY:

Base salary: €10,000-€16,000/month.

Hourly rate: €80 (€120 for special days, such as Christmas and New Year's).

Weekly hours: Flexible schedule from 40-50 hours per week.

Estimated annual gross salary: €140,000-€200,000.

Estimated net salary: 65-70% of the total gross salary after taxes and operating costs (primarily professional liability insurance).

Hours:

This covers the time  of the primary care centres which are closed in Ireland  from 5:00 or 6:00 PM until 9:00 AM and weekend days, and all day on weekends and public holidays, in different shifts.

Typical shifts could be from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM (“evening shift”) or 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (“weekend shift”), or occasionally, if deemed necessary, from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM (“red eye”), although these types of shifts can be minimized or even eliminated at the doctor's preference. In short, “red eye” shifts with this employer will be significantly fewer compared to other OOH employers in other areas/regions of Ireland, such as the Dublin area. Shifts will be arranged with them in advance to cover the assigned days, which will cover approximately three months of work.

OTHER BENEFITS:

Good working conditions and environment. Work from a base in a clinic, with driver visits to see patients only if deemed necessary. 

Largest OOH employer in Ireland, ensuring consistent work tailored to each case. 

Minimum 15-minute patient consultation per person.

Long-term contracts. Most placed physicians remain  for at least one year, and many stay for three to five years or more.

Excellent entry point to the Irish healthcare system.

Continuing education.
