Introduction to SNHF / SIH
Shifa International Hospitals Ltd. is a healthcare network in Pakistan that has built a strong reputation for quality care, accreditation, and modern healthcare management.

Establishing strong leadership roles in hospitals like SNHF helps ensure that clinical, operational, and administrative quality is maintained. Managers and Assistant Managers in nursing, facility management, laboratory services, safety/security, etc., play vital roles in patient outcomes, staff morale, regulatory compliance, and efficiency.

Although one advertisement I’ve found lists a deadline of **September 25, 2025**, the user wants “last date 30 September 2025” which may be an updated or alternate listing.

Why These Roles Are Vital
1. **Patient Safety & Quality of Care:** Units like ICU, Emergency, Dialysis, etc., need strong nursing leadership to ensure protocols, staffing, and clinical oversight are properly managed.
2. **Regulatory Compliance & Accreditation:** With Shifa being part of a JCI-accredited system and PHC regulated, facility management, safety & security, laboratory, MIS, etc., must meet high standards. Managers ensure compliance. ([Shifa International Hospitals Limited][1])
3. **Operational Efficiency:** Effective management in support and administrative departments ensures that clinical work is supported properly—nutrition, records, engineering, etc. This indirectly impacts costs, turnaround times, patient satisfaction.
4. **Organizational Reputation:** Skilled leadership helps maintain the hospital’s reputation, which is crucial in the competitive healthcare sector.
What Applicants Should Do / Tips
Check the official advertisement**: Since there is some discrepancy in the last date, always verify the advertisement in reliable sources — hospital website, official newspaper ads, or contact HR directly.
Tailor your CV**: Highlight leadership / managerial experience, especially in the relevant department. For example, if applying for Manager Nursing, specify your years in ICU / emergency etc., and highlight any quality improvement, audit, regulatory compliance experience.
Certifications help**: For roles like Safety & Security, or Facility Management, certifications (OHSAS, fire safety, IOSH, etc.) are valuable. For nursing, continued professional development (CPD), leadership training etc., will strengthen the application.
Be timely**: As the deadline (25 September 2025) passes soon (or maybe 30 September if updated), make sure to prepare all documents and send the application well before time.
Subject line clarity**: The advertisement asks for the specific position in email subject — e.g., Application – Manager Radiology” etc. This helps HR route the application correctly.
Prepare for interviews**: These senior roles will likely include interview questions on management style, experience with hospital operations, dealing with crises (e.g., in ICU, emergency during disasters), team leadership, conflict resolution, budgeting, and inter-departmental liaison.
Caveats & Updates Needed
* The **deadline in the original ad** is 25 September 2025, not 30 September. If someone has seen 30 September, that might be an extension or misprint. Confirm via official sources. ([Ilmkidunya][2])
* Some job postings (on Jobz.pk, etc.) clearly list these positions and indicate “as per advertisement in daily newspaper.” So sometimes last date is “or as per paper ad.” Always check both. ([Jobz.pk][3])
* Requirements (qualifications/experience) may differ slightly depending on the source; sometimes internal postings adjust criteria. Use the most authoritative source (hospital HR) for final confirmation.

Shifa National Hospital Faisalabad has opened leadership positions in several important clinical and support departments, including nursing, radiology, lab, facility management, and more. These roles are senior, demanding significant experience and qualifications. The advertised deadline is **25 September 2025**, though there may be other notices with **30 September**—so better to double-check.
For ambitious candidates in Faisalabad or nearby, this is a great opportunity. If you like, I can draft a ready-to-use ‘job alert’ post or help you prepare an application (CV, cover letter etc.) for these roles. Do you want me to do that?
