Both Premiere Care and our recruitment partner uphold rigorous ethical standards and take seriously our duty of care for the wellbeing of our staff - Nick Bussey Managing Director
Premiere Care International
We are working in partnership with an ethical recruitment company that provides life changing career opportunities to outstanding care workers and nurses from the Philippines. These highly experienced health workers are all wanting to relocate to the UK to work and Premiere Care International has been established to facilitate this opportunity for them to look after our clients.
It was important to us to identify a partner who is accredited by and works alongside the Philippines government, with experience of navigating the rules and regulations that must be adhered to. Our partner is also included on the NHS ethical recruiters list, to achieve this there are various regulations to follow that are largely around preventing exploitation, such as demonstrating that none of the initial recruitment, travel and visa related costs are met by the carer or their family.
​
Why choose a Filipino carer?​
The Philippines has some of the best carers in the world.
Aside from being highly experienced and suitable for this kind of work, our candidates speak excellent English, are culturally similar to Brits and are known for their loyalty, strong work ethic and caring demeanour.
It is far more cost effective to have a dedicated live-in carer than having carers visit on a rotation basis.
Zero disruption to the household from having carer changeovers.
It is a more economical option for those that only have light to moderate care needs.
