Sophie was always responsive, honest, and genuinely cared about helping us succeed. Both my wife and I secured positions — giving us the chance to build our careers together and reunite our family.

Common questions

Still figuring things out?

I’m only thinking about moving. Is it too early to speak to Ethicare?

No. You don’t need to have chosen a country or started registration. Start with the pathway checker or Plan Ethicare, and change your mind at any point.

Do I need to have found my role through Ethicare to use your tools and resources?

No. The tools and guides are free to use however you find your role. If you want our help with one, register your interest.

Do you charge healthcare professionals for helping them find a job?

No. Where we recruit for an employer, the employer pays our fee. You will still have your own costs, such as registration, visas and relocation: the cost calculator sets them out.

Still not sure? Ask Ethicare a question in your own words.
