Keraniganj Upazila Health Complex

Working in this sector

Doctors, nurses, technologists and support staff in hospitals and diagnostic centres work round the clock in shifts. Government hospitals come under the Directorate General of Health Services; private hospitals and diagnostic centres run under licence. Emergency departments and wards are demanding, and night duty is normal.

Common jobs and hiring

Common jobs include medical officer, consultant, registrar, staff nurse, medical technologist (lab, radiology), pharmacist, front desk and billing staff, ward attendants and hospital administration.

Doctors in government hospitals come through the BCS (Health) or ad hoc appointment, and nurses through a government recruitment exam. Private hospitals run their own tests and interviews; doctors and nurses need BMDC or Nursing Council registration.

Applying and preparing

This employer's vacancies are usually advertised on its own website and Facebook page, in national dailies and on job sites; government posts appear on the office's website and Teletalk's application pages. Before applying, check the qualifications, age limit and deadline, and put the experience and skills that match the post first in your CV. To prepare for an interview, learn what the organisation does and what it offers, and read the interview section of this page to see what earlier candidates were asked.

How pay is usually structured

Doctors and nurses in government hospitals are paid on the national pay scale. Private hospitals set their own pay; many doctors are paid per patient or per session instead of a salary, and night duty may carry a separate allowance.

What to ask before joining

Before joining, ask about the duty roster and the number of night duties a month, pay for extra duty, protection from infection, how leave is granted, and make sure you get a written appointment letter.

Checking a job offer

Before accepting an offer, read the appointment letter carefully: check that it states the job title, grade, total pay and how it splits into basic pay and allowances, the joining date, the probation period, the place of work and the notice period for resigning. A benefit promised only by word of mouth is hard to claim later. Look at the salaries pages to see what other employers pay for the same job, and if you can, talk to someone who works here. Be careful if you are asked for money or for original certificates to join.

Workers' rights

Private employers are usually covered by the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006. Under it every worker must get an appointment letter and an ID card (section 5), the working day is normally eight hours (section 100), overtime is paid at twice the ordinary rate (section 108), and one day of earned leave accrues for every eighteen days worked (section 117). Some managerial and administrative posts and some kinds of establishment fall outside parts of the Act, so check what applies to you against your appointment letter and the service rules. Disputes can go to the Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments or the labour court.
