Diabetes Nurse Specialist​/Diabetes Nurse Educator

A well-established healthcare organization in Riyadh needs an experienced Diabetes Specialist Nurse to take ownership of specialist care and education for patients living with diabetes. You will work with people managing Type 1, Type 2, and other forms of the condition, and help them take real control of it.

This is hands-on, patient-facing work. You will teach insulin technique, explain what a CGM reading actually means, and sit down with families to build plans they can follow  will also work side by side with endocrinologists, dietitians, and pharmacists, so your input shapes each patient's care.

Diabetes is managed mostly outside the clinic. The education you give today decides whether a patient avoids complications years from now. If you have at least three years in diabetes care and you care about teaching as much as treating, this role deserves your attention.
