Job with £460k salary and free four-bedroom house - but no one wants to do it
IN A bid to secure a doctor, a remote town is offering a lucrative package of perks including a monster salary, free house and added bonuses.
Quairading, a rural town in Western Australia, will give the successful applicant a £460,000 salary and a rent-free 4-bedroom house, but they are still struggling to fill the role.Credit: AlamyThe small town is 170km east of Perth, and like many remote communities across Australia, they are heavily feeling the effects of a national GP shortage.
The 600 residents of Quairading have been desperately searching for a GP since their previous doctor left months ago. They were in shock as a town just north of theirs shut its surgery doors for good after being unable to find a GP. The demand is so high that the local government is also throwing in an added financial incentive of £6,900 if the GP stays two years and £13,200 if they stay five.
