Hire Filipino Midwives in Saudi Arabia
Saudi hospitals and maternity units employ Filipino midwives alongside their nursing teams, and Vision 2030 maternal health projects are adding demand. We recruit directly from the Philippines, screening both PRC-licensed midwives and BSN registered nurses with midwifery experience depending on what the authority and employer require, confirm the registration route and DataFlow status before you see a profile, and handle the visas, paperwork, and clearances through to arrival.

One point of contact from your brief to your midwife arriving at your facility.
The role, and what a Filipino midwife brings to it
Midwives run labour wards, delivery suites, and antenatal and postnatal units, and Saudi maternity services hire them alongside registered nurses. We source midwifery as a separate brief from general nursing.
Depending on what the authority and employer require, we screen both PRC-licensed midwives, who hold a Bachelor of Science or Diploma in Midwifery from the Professional Regulation Commission, and BSN registered nurses with midwifery experience. Credentials are verified at source through DataFlow, with training and documentation in English and typically two or more years of clinical experience.
Authority classification for midwives is assessed case by case, so before you see a profile we confirm the exact registration route for your facility and screen candidates against it. We check credentials, DataFlow status, and the route that applies, and confirm it before shortlisting.

How midwife registration works in Saudi Arabia
Every healthcare professional in Saudi Arabia needs classification and a licence from the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS). How a midwife is classified is assessed case by case: SCFHS reviews qualifications and experience against its nursing and midwifery classifications, and the route can differ between a direct-entry midwifery diploma holder and a BSN registered nurse with midwifery experience. We confirm the exact registration route before shortlisting rather than assume it. Where the SCFHS route applies it runs through DataFlow verification and the Prometric examination, which can be sat in the Philippines before departure, and the resulting classification sets the professional grade and salary banding. We present classification documentation where available, so you know the grade before you interview.

Why Saudi employers hire Filipino midwives
English in maternity care
Philippine midwifery is taught in English. Charting, handover, and communication with mothers and clinical teams run in English from day one at your facility. No language bridging period.
Two routes into midwifery roles
Depending on the authority and employer, we screen both PRC-licensed midwives and BSN registered nurses with midwifery experience. Which one fits is assessed case by case, and we confirm the registration route before shortlisting.
Grade clarity before interview
Where SCFHS classification applies, it sets grade and salary banding, and the likely grade sits on the shortlist so you can match it to your vacancy before interviewing.

Saudi Arabia Employer Questions
Depending on what the authority and employer require, we screen both PRC-licensed midwives, who hold a Bachelor of Science or Diploma in Midwifery from the Professional Regulation Commission's Board of Midwifery, and BSN registered nurses with midwifery experience. Authority classification is assessed case by case: SCFHS reviews qualifications and experience against its nursing and midwifery classifications, and we confirm the exact registration route before presenting any profile, rather than assume a fixed pathway. Credentials and DataFlow status are checked on every candidate.
Where the SCFHS route applies, allow 10 to 16 weeks including classification, within a typical 3 to 4 months from brief to arrival, with a shortlist ready in 3 to 5 weeks. The exact route is confirmed case by case, and DataFlow-complete candidates move fastest, so we prioritise them for urgent briefs.
