Adivse for a panicked British nurse please!
Hello all
Firstly apologies as I am sure the origins of my questions are discussed many times - I have found some great info in the Dubai section, but wondered if anyone has any further advise for me?
I am being interviewed in a couple of weeks for a charge nurse position in an Abu Dhabi hospital. All the information I have so far is that they are offering a 'family contract' (we are a family of 4, kids aged 6 & 10) that incluses the following:
"Basic salary+ supplemental allowance (which includes the children's school funding, annual tickets, and utilities allowance) plus annual housing allowance (paid directly to landlord not cash to the employee. the employee is to choose the house that match his/her grade's allowance) However, we do offer "Married" contract benefits only if the family is residing in Abu Dhabi (not overseas)"
I have no idea how much I should negotiate for!! With regards to salary I found an American website that stated $73000 (US dollar) that is 268000 AED? Is this a reasonable salary for our situation? What kind of 'utilities allowance' should I expect?
Looking at the school fee section I guess in the region of 70-100AED/pa school fees (for both children)?
..and what is 'married contract' benefits are they referring to?
Also - should we need to send money back to the UK from UAE at what rate is it taxed?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I don't have long! Many thanks in advance, Helen.
