King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre

A tertiary and quaternary referral hospital with campuses in Riyadh, Jeddah and Madinah, and the largest single recruiter of international clinical staff in the Kingdom.

What they hire for

Consultant physicians and surgeons across sub-specialties, specialist nursing (ICU, oncology, transplant, paediatric), allied health, and biomedical research.

What candidates should know

• Licensing is the gate, not the offer. Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) classification and registration must be completed before you can practise, and it takes time. Start credential verification early — this is the single most common cause of delayed starts for clinicians.
• Nursing packages typically include accommodation, transport and annual flights.
• Contracts are commonly two years initially, with renewal the norm.
