Summary

We are looking for a registered nurse to work alongside the ship's doctor in the onboard medical centre, sailing Norwegian fjord itineraries in summer and the Western Mediterranean in autumn. Routine consultations, medication administration and triage during busy port-day clinic hours make up the bulk of the shift, with occasional acute cases requiring stabilisation before a shoreside handover.

A current Medical Care certificate and ENG1 are required; Medical First Aid instructor qualification is an advantage. We are looking for a registered nurse with at least five years of clinical experience, ideally including emergency or critical care, comfortable working under a ship's doctor with limited onboard diagnostic equipment.
