Saudi Care Employers
Filipino Caregivers for Saudi Arabia
In Saudi Arabia many care staff work through licensed staffing and home care companies that hold the contracts and sponsor the visas. We supply those companies with Filipino caregivers recruited directly from the Philippines, screened for the care their contracts cover, with visas, paperwork, and Philippine clearances handled through to arrival.
Book a Hiring Call
As of July 2026, Saudi employers hold live DMW-approved job orders for more than 1,100 Filipino caregivers and care workers, the largest caregiver demand of any market we serve.
Source: DMW approved job orders. Most of this demand passes through licensed staffing and home care companies that contract with facilities and households.
The care Saudi companies contract for
Typical care includes elderly daily living support, mobility and falls prevention, dementia care, medication reminders, and post-operative recovery at home, delivered live-in or visiting. Staffing companies tend to run mixed contracts across several clients at once, so we screen for breadth of care experience as well as depth. Every profile states the care types worked, the client histories, and any prior overseas experience.
Filipino caregivers hold a TESDA National Certificate in Caregiving (NC II), the Philippine national caregiving qualification, verified directly with TESDA, with references checked and English assessed by us.
We also recruit nursing aides and nursing assistants as part of the same caregiver recruitment process. Saudi staffing companies use them to support nurses across contracts. Every candidate is vetted on TESDA credentials and prior nursing-support experience, with references confirmed before you interview.
Who hires, and how it is funded
We staff licensed staffing and home care companies. The company holds the contracts, is the direct employer, and sponsors the visa for every caregiver placed. Recruitment is funded by the employer, and the candidate is never charged a placement fee or any equivalent at any stage, in line with Philippine law. To hire Filipino caregivers in Saudi Arabia, you brief us through your licensed company and we run the sourcing, screening, and Philippine-side paperwork.
For companies running mixed teams, we also source licensed nurses for home nursing services and home visit physiotherapists, from one brief and one point of contact.
Home care assistants
Home care assistants, the non-clinical caregivers and care workers a staffing company places across its contracts, are the main role in Saudi home care. We screen them for the care types your contracts cover, including elderly and dementia care, post-operative recovery, and long-term condition support, and for whether they work live-in or visiting and can move between clients.
Care staffing turns over faster than hospital staffing, and our model is built for that. We run repeat briefs, hold screened candidates against your standing requirements, and replace departures quickly, so your contracts stay covered.
Care assistants hold a TESDA National Certificate in Caregiving (NC II), verified directly with TESDA. Non-clinical care does not require SCFHS classification, while any clinical post follows the SCFHS pathway.

Clinical versus non-clinical care roles
The line that matters in Saudi Arabia is clinical versus non-clinical. Non-clinical care work does not require classification by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS). The company holds the licence and care staff work under it. Where a role carries clinical duties, that candidate goes through SCFHS classification and DataFlow, the same pathway we use for nurses. We confirm whether your role is clinical or non-clinical before sourcing, so the registration path and timeline are clear.
If a role shifts between non-clinical and clinical
We confirm whether a role is clinical or non-clinical before we start sourcing.
If the duties change before you hire, we confirm the pathway again and update the expected timeline.
The employer remains the sponsor throughout.

Saudi Caregiver Employer Questions
Through licensed staffing and home care companies, which hold the contracts with facilities and families and act as the direct employer and visa sponsor. We recruit into those companies, not to candidates directly. Recruitment is employer-funded and the candidate is never charged at any stage.
Only where the role is clinical. Non-clinical care work (daily living support, mobility help, companionship, dementia support) does not require classification by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS). Where a post carries clinical duties, that candidate is prepared for SCFHS classification and DataFlow the same way a nurse is. We confirm which side your role sits on at brief stage.
A TESDA National Certificate in Caregiving (NC II), the Philippine national caregiving qualification, verified directly with TESDA. Many also have prior overseas care experience in Hong Kong, Singapore, or the region, stated on the profile with references checked.
Confirmed brief to shortlist is typically 3 to 5 weeks, and brief to arrival around 3 to 4 months. Non-clinical care is often quicker than clinical roles because there is no licensing examination stage. For ongoing demand we run repeat briefs and replace free within the first three months.
Yes. Staffing companies running mixed teams take SCFHS-licensed nurses and non-clinical care assistants together, and we source both from one brief and one point of contact. The nurses route through SCFHS and DataFlow; the care assistants are screened on TESDA credentials, care history, and references, so one relationship covers the whole team.
