Hiring in Dublin

What the Dublin market looks like.

Dublin holds the greatest concentration of acute, tertiary and voluntary hospitals in Ireland, alongside a large private sector. Irish roles require registration with the relevant Irish regulator such as CORU, NMBI or the Medical Council rather than a UK body.
