Please note: From countries that, according to the WHO, themselves suffer from a critical shortage of health workers, only the German Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit) may recruit and place nursing and health personnel in Germany (Section 38 of the German Employment Ordinance, § 38 BeschV). We do not place people from these countries in these professions – the point of contact is the ZAV of the Federal Employment Agency.

  1. Getting to know you

    You send us your documents by email. In a personal conversation (video or phone) we find out which path suits you.

  2. Matching & job interview

    With your consent, we introduce you to suitable employers. Before the contract, you receive all important information in writing: employer, location, duties, salary, working hours, holidays.

  3. Applying for recognition

    The recognition authority in the federal state where you will work is responsible. We prepare the application with you.

  4. Learning German

    Usually level B2 for recognition, often less for training – depending on the nursing school.

  5. Visa & entry

    Your employer can apply for the fast-track procedure for skilled workers (§ 81a AufenthG). We make sure your documents are complete.

  6. Arriving & continuing to learn

    If necessary: knowledge test or adaptation course. During this time you often already work for your employer.

  7. Arrived – as a qualified professional

    With recognition, you work fully in your profession. And we remain available to you.

FAQ

Your questions. Our answers.

Which employers can I work for?
For nursing and therapy employers all over Germany – home care services, nursing homes, hospitals, therapy practices. Also at Corpus Callosum in Dortmund. Before you sign, you receive all important information about the employer in writing.
Do I already need to speak German?
For recognition as a qualified professional in nursing and therapy, German at level B2 is usually required (depending on the federal state and profession). Get in touch now anyway – we'll plan your way there together.
How long does it take?
That depends on your profession, documents, language level and the authorities. After the first conversation, you will get an honest assessment.
Am I guaranteed a job, a visa or recognition?
No, and we say so openly: decisions on recognition, visas and hiring are made by the authorities or the employer. We prepare everything as well as we possibly can – but we cannot guarantee the outcome.
Can my family come with me?
Family reunification is possible for skilled workers under certain conditions. We will discuss this with you personally.
I come from a country on the WHO list. Can you help me?
In nursing and health professions we are not allowed to place people from these countries – only the German Federal Employment Agency may do so (§ 38 of the German Employment Ordinance). Please contact the ZAV.
What happens to my data?
We use your documents for job placement. Your profile is only passed on to an employer if you have agreed beforehand. More in the privacy information.
