Care Homes & Home Healthcare Providers
Source Filipino Caregivers and Home Care Professionals for UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar
BW Medical Staffing sources, screens, and prepares Filipino caregivers, healthcare assistants, and home care specialists for care homes and home healthcare agencies across UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. We handle immigration paperwork, work visas, and pre-departure requirements on the Philippine side.
Overview
Care and Support Roles We Source
Filipino caregivers typically hold the TESDA National Certificate in Caregiving (NC II). BW screens English, references, and daily living support experience, and staffs licensed care providers and facilities, not private families.
For care providers comparing a Filipino caregiver agency with direct sourcing, BW manages caregiver recruitment from the Philippines, sourcing and screening every candidate while you remain the direct employer.
From residential care aides to in-home care specialists, we source a wide range of care support roles in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. We staff licensed home care providers, care agencies, and facilities, not private families. See how we work with home care companies.

Process
How hiring works
Caregiver hiring follows the same four-step process from brief to arrival: you share the brief, we source and screen, you interview and choose, and we handle the visas, immigration, and Philippine clearances under the DMW framework. See how it works →
Timing
Typical sourcing and deployment timing
Shortlists typically arrive in 3 to 5 weeks, and candidates arrive typically in 3 to 4 months.
Non-clinical care roles are often quicker than licensed clinical roles because there is no licensing exam stage. Where a role sits in a regulated clinical setting, the relevant licensing steps apply and we confirm them at brief stage.
Safety
Safety and home environment fit
References are checked and the Philippine government clearances required for deployment are completed before travel.
Profiles state live-in or visiting history, so you can judge suitability for lone-working roles.

Questions
Filipino Caregiver Sourcing Questions
Filipino caregivers commonly hold a TESDA National Certificate II or III in Caregiving or Health Care Services, which is a nationally standardised vocational qualification from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority. Many also hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and are using a caregiver placement as a first step into the region. BW Medical Staffing verifies certification directly with TESDA, screens candidates to the qualification level your role requires, and includes qualification documentation in every candidate profile.
Licensing requirements for care support roles (Healthcare Assistants, Home Care Specialists) vary by country and role classification. In the UAE, care assistants in clinical settings typically require MOH, DHA, or DOH registration depending on the Emirate and the specific care tasks involved. In Saudi Arabia, care support roles in hospital settings may require SCFHS registration; roles in non-clinical care homes may operate under employer registration rather than individual licensing. BW Medical Staffing assesses the licensing requirements for your specific role and facility type at the brief confirmation stage.
Recruitment timelines for caregiver roles are broadly similar to nursing: brief to shortlist in 3 to 5 weeks, with total in-country deployment typically 3 to 4 months. Care support roles that do not require local authority pre-registration (particularly home care and residential care roles where the employer handles in-country registration after arrival) can sometimes move through the deployment phase faster than licensed clinical nursing roles. We will confirm a realistic timeline for your specific role and jurisdiction at brief confirmation.
