Vacant job

Main Responsibilities

As a nurse on a ship, you also have the task of working preventively, early on curbing outbreaks of illness and alleviating and managing minor ailments directly on board.

Your work includes educating and developing the medical skills of other crew members. You are expected to participate in other ship services, and a strong focus will be on integrating you as a crew member.
