Back 4 Good – Your future in Ireland has received a large number of requests for updates on when and indeed if the new National Children’s Hospital will commence recruiting in all occupations.
For an interested jobseeker or returnee gathering this information is a difficult task as the main site for the National Hospital has no posted jobs and requests that no cvs be submitted to them at present.
One would have expected that the recruitment and development of a talent pipeline should be underway but like all things associated with the Hospital it appears to be behind in this aspect of the project.
While interest is strong among our subscriber base and the fact that the Hospital will not open for a couple of years is an advantage as it allows overseas professional to plan their return ,the new Hospital must start gathering a data base of shortlisted candidates not simply posted a register your interest form.
The controversial National Children’s Hospital bedevilled by negative news stories and tales of mis-management at Government level has rolled out its recruitment strategy under CHI.jobs
Of course the demand for consultants is top of the list and in the first instance they are looking for consultants to work in the first Paediatric Outpatient and Urgent Care Centre at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown.
On the nursing side jobs postings are limited and it appears that staff are to be recruited into the hospitals that are to be merged into the New National Children’s Hospital and the first step of this merger plan is to open Paediatric Outpatients and Urgent Care units at Blanchardstown and Tallaght Hospitals in 2019 and 2020 respectively and move services into the New Children’s hospital by mid-2022 .
So if you want to apply to work in the new Children’s Hospital you should first look at the 3 hospitals that will merge to become the New Children’s Hospital .
For example Blanchardstown Hospital are looking for Staff Nurses for the Paediatric Urgent Care Centre with roles offering a ” Comprehensive benefits package ” including
. Excellent Annual Leave
. Pension Scheme
. Sick Pay Scheme
. Access to first -rate post graduate
. Subsidised Canteen
. Tax Savers Travel Scheme
and more.
While the New National Children’s Hospital is to be the first ” Digital Hospital “ in the system with the implementation of a Electronic Healthcare Record , as well as ,other evidence based standards such as 100% single rooms No ICT Jobs are Currently Advertised .
When one considered the global shortage of ICT skills and talent early recruitment is essential and in particularity is vital to have a core team in place on the hardware side before installation of IT in James”s Street .
Roles currently on offer for consultants include,
. Paediatric Emergency Medicine Consultants
. Consultant Paediatric Radiologist
Again the packages on offer is similar to the Nurses offer ( with different salaries ) however after much searching it is difficult to find any salaries to reference.
Other jobs available in the 3 Hospitals include
. Patient Flow
. Administrative Assistant
. Schedule Care Lead
. Clinical Specialist – Radiographer
. Radiographer
. Sonographer / Radiographer
. Community GP liaison Nurse
For a project of the scale and size of the New National Children’s Hospital the strategy of setting up Children’s Health Ireland is understandable .
However, from a communication perspective it has confused many Back 4 Good subscribers who may want to work in the National Children’s Hospital and are finding it difficult to gather information on opportunities that may exist after the merger .
We will continue to brief you on developments and hope to receive a salary chart of all un-coming roles to share with you our subscribers .
