Colombia Offers 120 Healthcare Jobs in Spain With Permanent Contracts

Colombia has announced 120 healthcare positions in Spain, including permanent contracts for doctors and nurses. Salaries range from approximately 8 to 12 million pesos per month, or around 2,531 to 3,797 US dollars. Through Colombia's public employment agency, SENA, the country has launched two recruitment calls with Hospiten, a Spanish hospital group, seeking 20 emergency doctors and 100 nurses.

These roles will be based in the Canary Islands, Estepona, and Madrid, with rotating shifts covering morning, afternoon, and night duties. Applications will close before December 3 or when sufficient candidates are received, whichever occurs first.

Emergency doctors will earn 46,308 euros annually before taxes, approximately 51,891 US dollars, while nurses receive 26,000 euros, or close to 29,134 US dollars. Both offers include indefinite contracts, Spanish social security, 30 days of vacation, and assistance with residence permits, potentially extending to family members.

However, applicants must possess a degree recognized by Spain, a requirement that benefits professionals who have already completed the degree recognition process and excludes those still in the process. The positions require either two years of experience in hospital emergency services for doctors or one year of similar experience for nurses.

Prospective candidates must register or update their resume at ape.sena.edu.co, meet all requirements, and apply directly for the vacancy, along with presenting a passport or proof of application initiation. SENA advises applying promptly, as the positions may close early if the application target is met.
