What is the location like?
Hanoi is the capital and second largest city in Vietnam and with its colonial architecture and vibrant street life it is consistently ranked among the world's top 10 destinations by big name travel sites. For many Hanoi is used as an entry point for visitors drawn to the country’s mountainous north but there are many reasons why people decide to stay longer, including the numerous lakes, fantastic restaurants, vibrant night life and Southeast Asia’s best preserved colonial architecture. It's described as one of the most beautiful cities in all of the world, along with being one of the oldest in Asia.
Those moving to Hanoi find a city that maintains a balance between significant development (large shopping malls, new roads) and preserving a relatively cheap cost of living. You can live an exceptionally high standard of living on a salary of only 3000 USD equivalent per month.
Hanoians are proud people; they take pride in their cuisines, their etiquettes, their rich tradition and eating Hanoi food is listed among some of the best food experiences in the world. The city is packed with museums, monuments, cafes, restaurants, discos and handicraft stores so there is a bustling lifestyle available for those keen to immerse themselves in the Vietnamese way of life.
What qualifications are we looking for?
The hospital is ideally looking for a specialist who can speak and write English at a fluent level and have a minimum of 3 year's of hospital experience. You must also be in active clinical practice.
