The Role

We seek a talented and experienced Ships Nurse .

Description Brief: The Nurse is responsible to the Doctor for the delivery of immediately necessary and emergency medical care to crew and passengers and is directly managed by the Doctor for administrative purposes and tasks. The Nurse is supported clinically by the Doctor.

The Nurse role is required to perform at a skilled level and must seek support, guidance and ratification of clinical decisions as required by their competence and limitations, and must be able to work independently and make decisions within their own legislative framework. Clinical decisions are to be robustly supported by current clinical evidence and practice.

Working on a cruise ship is very different from any land-based occupation. Working hours are longer and work is more intense due to the constant demand of the guests. You must be very flexible in your working hours, which on occasion might have to be changed due to unforeseen circumstances. The Maritime Labour Convention of 2006 however strictly regulates these. Apart from the working hours, there are strict rules which all members of the ship’s company need to adhere to as stipulated by the Master’s standing orders. You work closely with your fellow crew members and therefore respect among all is essential.

Minimum Req uirements:

• Experience onboard passenger vessels as a Ships Nurse is essential.
• Valid Basic STCW certificates, as required for the position.
• University Degree in Nursing with a full license to practice.
• Current ACLS, ALS or equivalent certification or specialist training.
• Current ITLS, ATLS, PHTLS or equivalent certification.
• Current PALS or equivalent certification.
• An amazing team player with a positive attitude to ‘get the job done’.
