Receiving a job offer is an exciting moment, especially when it involves an international move to countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, The Netherlands, the United States, Saudi Arabia, or Finland. However, before accepting the offer and packing your bags, it is essential to understand all the details of the job offer to ensure you are making the right choice for your career and personal life. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Specialization in the Healthcare Sector
Salary is a crucial part of the job offer, but it's not everything. Check if the offer includes additional benefits such as:
Health insurance
Pension plan
Food and transport allowances
Performance bonuses
Overtime or night shift pay
Our consultants perform a detailed analysis of your salary package and the benefits offered. They compare these elements with the standards of the destination country, ensuring you receive a competitive offer. With Vitae’s support, you will fully understand the total value of your offer.
2. Working Conditions
Working hours and conditions vary significantly from one country to another. It is important to know:
How many hours per week you will be expected to work
Shift and weekend policies
Rights to breaks and rest periods
With Vitae Professionals, you will understand the working hours, shift policies, and your labour rights, helping you prepare for the new working environment.
