About the Employer
You'll be joining a modern, protocol-driven EMS with multinational crews and rotating 12-hour shifts. The role is based in Abu Dhabi but deployments can be anywhere in the UAE depending on client needs. You may occasionally be sent on missions outside the UAE; for those periods you're paid an additional daily rate on top of your gross monthly salary.
The employer covers your DataFlow verification, DOH licensing, and visa costs. Compensation is tax-free and the gross monthly salary includes a housing allowance--so you'll arrange your own accommodation. The contract does not include schooling allowances or flight tickets for family members; you can bring your family at your own expense.
Day-to-day life is very safe, cosmopolitan, and English-friendly, with extremely hot summers--so heat acclimatization and hydration are essential on duty.
About the UAE:
The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates, with Abu Dhabi as the capital and Dubai the largest city.
It's safe, modern, and very international--English is widely used at work and in daily life.
The climate is desert (mild winters, very hot/humid summers), and infrastructure--healthcare, roads, airports--is excellent.
There's no personal income tax, weekends are Saturday-Sunday, and residents are expected to respect local laws and cultural norms (e.g., Ramadan observance and licensed venues for alcohol).
