Medcare operates four multi-specialty hospitals and over 20 medical centers in Dubai and Sharjah. As part of Aster DM Healthcare, it offers the stability of a massive conglomerate but with a distinct, upscale work culture.
For job seekers, Medcare is a “Step Up.” If you are working in a smaller clinic, moving to Medcare means better facilities, higher insurance tier patients, and a more structured career path. The focus here is on Concierge Medicine, like patients are treated like hotel guests, so your soft skills are tested heavily during interviews.
The “Medcare” Reality: Qualifications & Image
Working here requires more than just clinical skills:
1. The “Western Board” Preference
- The Doctors: Medcare aggressively markets its doctors as “Western Board Certified.”
- The Impact: If you are a Consultant with CCT (UK), American Board, or Canadian Board certification, you are in high demand and command a significant salary premium compared to those with regional qualifications.
2. DHA License is Non-Negotiable
- The Rule: Like all Dubai hospitals, you need a DHA License or Eligibility Letter to be hired.
- The Strategy: Do not apply for clinical roles until you have passed your Prometric exam and DataFlow. HR rarely processes “unlicensed” CVs unless you are a high-profile Western consultant.
3. Patient Experience (PX) Focus
- The Role: Medcare hires “Patient Experience Executives” who function like hotel concierges.
- The Background: They often hire staff from Aviation (Cabin Crew) or 5-Star Hotels for these roles because they prioritize grooming and etiquette over medical background for front-of-house positions.

How to Apply Online?
Medcare uses the centralized Aster DM Healthcare portal but has its own filters.
- Official Portal: Visit com/careers.
- Click on “Explore Jobs.”
- Crucial Step: In the “Business Unit” or “Brand” filter, select “Medcare”. This separates the premium hospital jobs from the standard clinic roles.
- Medcare Website: You can sometimes find specific openings at ae/en/careers, which may direct you to an email like recruitment@medcare.ae.
- LinkedIn: Follow “Medcare Hospitals & Medical Centres”. They frequently post doctor and senior admin roles here.
Scam Warning:
Medcare never charges fees for recruitment. Be careful of fake “Offer Letters” sent from Gmail/Hotmail asking for a “DHA License Processing Fee.” Medcare handles licensing costs for hired staff or deducts it later; they never ask for upfront wire transfers.
