Commissioned by the nine Local Authorities in Cheshire and Merseyside, NHS Professionals International has developed a comprehensive, FREE recruitment support service for over 1,000 care providers.
This includes a user-friendly web portal (accessible below), a bookable consultation service, and in-depth training, all completely free of charge.
With our support, domiciliary and residential care providers of all sizes can confidently manage ethical international recruitment, enabling the successful placement of nurses and care assistants across care homes and other settings. Together, we are promoting safe, sustainable, and high-quality care throughout the region.
