Internationale Pflegekräfte einstellen
The ‘Brandenburger Way’ is an initiative for the successful recruitment and employment of international care assistants and care professionals. In addition to your company's job advertisements in the skilled labour portal, which are specifically advertised in certain target countries, experts are on hand to assist you personally with decision-making and process support.
New regulations facilitate the employment and qualification of international nursing staff. More flexible options for the recognition of professional qualifications and an accelerated skilled labour procedure significantly shorten the process from the commitment of a skilled worker to the first day of work. The vocational training chain in long-term care offers harmonised opportunities for further training. In this way, nursing staff can be qualified and retained in the company in the long term.

The ‘Brandenburg Way’ for attracting international nursing professionals and nursing assistants is a combination of many individual measures centred on personal support for companies and nursing staff from abroad. In this way, administrative requirements, support and funding programmes as well as qualification processes can be optimally coordinated.

You can find foreign nursing specialists and nursing assistants via national or international job advertisements (many potential specialists are already in training or at universities in Germany), e.g. in the Brandenburg Specialist Portal or on the website of the Federal Employment Agency. There are also agencies that specialise in recruiting skilled workers from abroad.

State-recognised nursing assistants and nursing specialists are regulated professions, so professional recognition plays an important role here. The training (often academic abroad) must be recognised as equivalent in order to be allowed to use the professional title. If the qualification was obtained abroad, equivalence is checked. Special recognition centres are responsible for this. If the specialist is missing training content, this can be acquired through compensatory measures. They can choose between an adaptation period or a knowledge test. As an employer, you have the option of applying for an accelerated recognition procedure with the specialist. The processing time is then a maximum of 2 months.

Depending on the country of origin of the carer, different entry and residence requirements apply. If your applicant comes from a third country, they will need a visa to enter the country. If you subsequently employ them, you as the employer are even obliged to check whether they have a current residence permit. To apply for the visa or residence permit, your new carer will need a declaration of intent or a job offer from a domestic employer.
