International hiring for nursing homes, care groups and clinical teams.
Recruitroo sources internationally-trained nurses, care assistants and clinical staff for Irish and UK care groups — and files the visa and immigration paperwork on your behalf so candidates can start as quickly as compliance allows.
How Recruitroo helps healthcare employers.
Pre-screened clinical talent
Pool of internationally-trained Registered Nurses, Healthcare Assistants and Senior Carers with English and qualifications already verified.
Visa filing on your behalf
We submit Critical Skills, GEP and UK Skilled Worker (Senior Care) cases for you — the candidate just hands over details, data and documents.
Relocation that doesn't fall to HR
Arrival logistics, accommodation guidance and first-week onboarding tracked through the platform instead of inboxes.
Where healthcare hiring usually breaks — and what we do about it.
Problem
NMBI / NMC paperwork stuck mid-process
Recruitroo
We track registration alongside the visa so qualifications and right-to-work line up by start date.
Problem
Senior Care Worker sponsor licence pressure
Recruitroo
We prepare Certificate of Sponsorship workflows in advance so issuing CoS doesn't bottleneck hiring.
Problem
Arrival logistics falling on the care home manager
Recruitroo
Accommodation, bank appointment and first-week check-in handled by Recruitroo — not the rota team.

Visa routes that apply to all healthcare roles we hire for.
If it sits inside healthcare we'll source for it — and we'll match it to the right visa route up-front.
Roles
Recruitroo files these on your behalf. The candidate just hands over details, data and documents — we handle preparation, submission and case tracking.
Credentials we verify before shortlist
Sector-specific checks recorded on every candidate profile — no surprises after offer.
Healthcare hiring questions
Can you source candidates with NMBI or NMC registration?
Yes. We work with internationally-trained nurses and verify the NMBI / NMC application stage as part of the case-readiness workflow before they arrive.
Do you handle the visa for Senior Care Workers under the UK Skilled Worker route?
Yes. We file the Skilled Worker application on the employer's behalf, including the Certificate of Sponsorship workflow, and track every milestone in the platform.
How long from role brief to a candidate starting on site?
Duration depends on the visa route and country of origin. The case-readiness checks we run up-front keep avoidable refusals from slowing the process.
Can I hire nurses and care staff from outside the EU?
Yes. Internationally-trained nurses often qualify for a Critical Skills Employment Permit in Ireland (no Labour Market Needs Test) or a UK Skilled Worker visa; care assistants typically go via the General Employment Permit. We confirm the route and salary threshold before sourcing.
Who pays for the permit or visa for a healthcare hire?
The employer pays the government permit/sponsor fees and can't deduct them from the worker. The candidate usually covers their own costs like registration and the entry visa. We map out who pays what per case up front.
Do you help with NMBI or NMC registration timelines?
Yes — we track the NMBI (Ireland) or NMC (UK) registration stage alongside the visa so qualifications and right-to-work line up by the intended start date, rather than the two running out of sync.
