Official OAUTHC website:
Application deadline
The main OAUTHC recruitment listing currently gives Wednesday, November 4, 2026, as the application deadline. However, some individual vacancy pages do not display a separate deadline, so applicants should check the official OAUTHC recruitment portal and the specific vacancy before submitting.
Important warning to applicants
Prospective applicants should be wary of individuals or unofficial platforms asking for money in exchange for recruitment slots, appointment letters or preferential treatment.
This caution is particularly relevant because OAUTHC has previously faced controversies surrounding alleged irregular recruitment and job racketeering. In 2026, the National Industrial Court ordered the reinstatement of 108 affected workers in a separate employment dispute.
Applicants should therefore submit applications through the hospital’s authorised recruitment channel and should not pay anyone who claims to have the power to guarantee employment.
