Cheshire and Merseyside International Social Care Recruitment

Commissioned by the nine Local Authorities in Cheshire and Merseyside, we at NHS Professionals International have created a complete recruitment support service for over 1,000 care providers. This includes a user-friendly web portal (accessible below), a free helpline, and in-depth training—all at no cost. With our support, domiciliary and residential care providers of all sizes can confidently manage ethical international recruitment, ensuring the successful placement of Nurses and Healthcare Assistants in care homes and other settings, promoting safe and high-quality care across the region.
