Working in Ireland

Are you thinking about moving from the UK to Ireland? Maybe you are Irish and are looking at returning home, or maybe you have lived in the UK your entire life and are looking for a new challenge! Either way Clarity Academy can help.

What advantages does working in Ireland hold over the UK?

Higher rates
More autonomy
More diverse range of employers
More patient interaction
 

Unfortunately, it's not all plain sailing! There are huge differences in how schemes are administered between the countries. For instance an innocuous looking 4 item script in Ireland could be spread across 4 relatively complex schemes, resulting in multiple computer print outs and, depending on the dispensing system you are using, could result in entering and leaving the PMR a number of times. Luckily Clarity Academy can make your transition to Ireland as seamless as possible!

So, what's the best way to go about moving to Ireland?

There are huge differences in the cost of living between the different regions of Ireland. Locum rates and wages also vary from region to region. Clarity Academy are experts in this area so call our office to discuss your options if you are trying to decide where you would like to work.
