Nurse in Norway
Are you a trained nurse looking for a job and willing to work away from home?
Then Adecco Norway has the job for you.
Adecco Norway is looking to recruit more than 100 nurses from Portugal to work in Norway. Working in Norway you will be able to have an income equivalent of a full time job in Portugal whilst still being with your family half of the year.
Working for Adecco Norway you will be part of a family with over 6000 associates at work every day. We are Norway’s largest temporal work agency with more than 100 offices and departments all over Norway and more than 6000 customers.
High salary, flexibility, guaranteed work
Working as a nurse in Norway you are guaranteed a minimum salary of €24/hours, plus extra when working evenings, nights, Saturdays and Sundays.
Over the course of 24 months you are required to work a minimum of 1854 hours (50 percent of a full time position) and Adecco can guarantee that this will be an absolute minimum of what we may offer you.
Working through Adecco in Norway will at the same time give you the flexibility to maintain a normal family life in Portugal. Our demands for you are simple:
- You must work a minimum of 1854 hours over 24 months.
- When you are in Norway you must work for a minimum of six consecutive weeks.
- You are required to work in July and August (weeks 27-33). This is the only time when you have to work more than six weeks in a row.
When you work for Adecco you have no financial obligation towards us. We will cover all your expenses regarding language training, housing in Norway and travel between major cities in Portugal and your place of work in Norway.
The Norwegian health sector
Norway has a primarily publicly run health sector, divided into four regions, Helse Sør-Øst (Health South-East), Helse Vest (Health West), Helse Midt-Norge (Health Mid-Norway) and Helse Nord (Health North), each responsible for the hospitals in their region. In addition local municipalities are responsible for nursing homes, care centers for elderly and people with disabilities, school health services and health stations. Nursing homes and care centers are either run directly by the municipality, by an ideal organization or by a private company. Adecco delivers personnel to both hospitals and care centers in all categories all over Norway.
Once you have passed the first language test (B1) you are qualified to work in nursing homes and care centers. For highly skilled and motivated nurses Adecco will offer language courses with the objective of passing the “Bergenstest” (the equivalent of B2/C1). Having passed the “Bergenstest” you may get the opportunity to work in a hospital. For nurses in Norwegian hospitals the minimum salary is approximately €31/hour, plus extra for overtime and inconvenient hours.
