“The annual salary is 200 million. Even so, there are no applicants ”.
The Chungbuk Office of Education is deeply concerned. This is because the Chungbuk Provincial Office of Education is looking for a psychiatrist to work at the Mental Health Promotion Center, which was created for the mental health of students, but there are no candidates for the fifth recruitment announcement.
The Chungbuk-do Office of Education opened the Mental Health Promotion Center in March 2018 for student mental health and crisis student counseling and mental health related consultations. However, for a month, the seats for two psychiatrists are empty. The Office of Education posted a job advertisement on the 9th and received applications from the 15th to the 17th. However, there were no candidates. The Office of Education decided to receive the application again on the 24-29 after going through a re-advertisement process.
When the center was first opened, the Office of Education planned to deploy two specialists. However, even at that time, I had a hard time finding a specialist and I left a specialist for about a year as a vacancy. In February of last year, two specialists were hired through eight job offers. However, I was not able to complete a year and stop working in January. Since then, the Office of Education published 4 consecutive recruitment announcements, but in the end, it was unable to fill the vacancy. Even a specialist withdrew on the 21st of last month as a result of being overwhelmed.
The Office of Education believes this is because the salary is relatively lower than that of the psychiatrist himself. The compensation (before taxes) of the specialists employed at the center ranged from 11 million won per month (less than 2 years of experience) to 13 million won (more than 5 years of experience). As a result of a survey conducted by the Office of Education across general hospitals, the average salary (before taxes) of psychiatrists is more than 17 to 19 million won per month. Consequently, the Office of Education increased compensation. In the case of a full-time system, the monthly system was set at 1,700 won (with less than 2 years of experience) to 19 million won (with more than 5 years of experience) and 81,340 won per hour (with less than 2 years of experience). 2 years of experience) and 9,910 won (with more than 5 years of experience). When calculated as an annual salary, it amounts to 244 million to 228 million won.
Furthermore, the Office of Education analyzed that psychiatrists do not bear the burden of having to work harder than general practitioners and take on administrative tasks. They must work 40 hours a week. You must not only stay at the center, but also attend on-site counseling at the request of the school. In addition, they must write reports and manage cases. Therefore, this time the part-time physician system was introduced. It is more free in terms of time usage than the full time system.
With the improvement of conditions, the Office of Education promoted in various ways, not only the Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Specialists, the Neuropsychiatry Society and the Chungbuk Medical Association, but also personal emails from doctors. Still, psychiatrists are not interested in this position.
A local psychiatrist with similar work experience in other education offices noted that “the biggest problem is the unstable type of employment of non-regular workers rather than the issue of annual salary.” He said: “There may not be a center at any time depending on the policy of the education authorities, and there is no guarantee of renewing a contract in two years. Who will try to go there?” I won’t. “She said,” Working conditions that seem to be lagging are also the reason why doctors don’t want to go, “she said.
