Contracted Healthcare Staff Recruitment Status Updates

Hiring of personnel is the most eagerly awaited and joyful news for newly graduated or unemployed candidates hoping for public service positions. Whether permanent or contracted, everyone looks forward to this announcement with great hope. The long-awaited news for those who want to work as health personnel has finally arrived. The Ministry of Health has announced that it will recruit contracted health staff as part of the 2017 appointment calendar.

12,500 Candidates to Be Hired Under Contract Terms

The announcement ending the long wait about when the Ministry of Health will recruit staff in 2017 has been released. Between June 7, 2017 and June 13, 2017, candidates who graduated from secondary education, associate degree and bachelor’s degree programs can apply and be placed centrally by ÖSYM. Applications must be completed by June 13, 2017.

Candidates who wish to apply must log in to the candidate operations system on ÖSYM’s official website and complete their applications by 23:59 on June 13, 2017. Before finalizing the application, applicants must pay an application fee of 15 TL at a bank using a credit or debit card. Once the fee is paid, the application can be completed.

One important detail should not be overlooked. Candidates who want to prefer positions such as audiologist, perfusionist, speech and language therapist, and medical physicist must apply in person to the State Personnel Presidency’s Public Personnel Employment Department before June 7, 2017. However, those who already applied and whose application data were accepted do not need to apply again. Candidates for other positions do not need to apply in person; they can complete their applications through the normal online process.

The final step for the question of when the Ministry of Health will recruit staff is the publication of the Preference Guide on ÖSYM’s official website. After consulting this guide and submitting their preferences, candidates enter the next and more exciting phase. Placement results for candidates awaiting assignments to the Ministry of Health, the Turkish Public Hospitals Authority and the Turkish Public Health Institutions will also be announced on ÖSYM’s official website.
