About Aster DM Healthcare in the UAE

Aster was founded in Dubai in 1987 by Dr Azad Moopen as a single clinic. It grew into one of the largest private healthcare groups in the Gulf. In April 2024 the group separated its GCC business from its India business, Aster DM Healthcare Ltd, which is listed in India. A consortium led by Fajr Capital invested in the GCC business at that time, and it continues to run under the Aster brand.

The UAE side of the business has a mix of hospitals, day-care clinics and retail pharmacies. That is why its job openings cover more than doctors and nurses. Pharmacy counter staff, insurance and billing coordinators, call-centre agents and housekeeping teams are also hired regularly. Pay and benefits differ from one unit to another, so always read your own offer carefully.

Types of Jobs at Aster UAE

Registered Nurse

Nurses work in wards, ICU, emergency, OT, paediatrics and outpatient clinics. A valid DHA, DOH or MOHAP licence, or eligibility to get one, is normally required.

Assistant Nurse / Practical Nurse

These staff support registered nurses with patient care, vital signs and hygiene. The licensing category is different from the RN category, so check which one you qualify for.

Pharmacist

Aster Pharmacy is one of the largest pharmacy chains in the UAE. Pharmacists dispense medicines, counsel customers and handle insurance prescriptions.

Pharmacy Assistant / Technician

Pharmacy assistants handle stock, billing and customer service at the counter. Some positions ask for a pharmacy diploma and licence.

Laboratory and Radiology Technologist

Lab technologists run sample testing. Radiographers handle X-ray, CT and MRI. Both roles need a recognised degree or diploma and a licence.

Physiotherapist

Physiotherapists work in rehab and outpatient departments. They need a degree in physiotherapy and a UAE health licence.

Front Office, Insurance and Call Centre

These are non-clinical roles in patient registration, insurance approvals and appointment booking. Good English and computer skills are expected.

Patient Care and Housekeeping Support

Support staff keep wards clean and help move patients. These jobs are sometimes filled through facility-management contractors rather than directly.

The rupee figures use roughly ₹24 per AED and will change with the exchange rate.

Can Indians and Other Foreign Workers Apply?

Yes. Aster’s UAE workforce is very multinational, and Indian, Filipino and other South Asian staff work across its hospitals and pharmacies. Foreign applicants can apply for any open role whose requirements they meet. For clinical roles, the key requirement is passing the UAE health licensing process.

Remember that a job offer is not the same as a visa. If you are selected, the employer applies for your MOHRE work permit and UAE residence visa. Do not assume sponsorship until it is written in your offer letter. UAE Labour Law does not allow employers or agents to charge workers recruitment fees.

Emiratisation targets apply to private companies in the UAE. Some administrative and leadership roles may be reserved for or given priority to UAE nationals. Nursing, pharmacy and technical roles are still widely open to expatriates.

Your degree, experience letters and registration are checked directly with the issuing bodies through DataFlow. Start early, because this can take several weeks.
