Our program provides You with a healthcare job in Finland and qualifies You to become a registered practical nurse in Finland. We have compiled all the details for one commitment - you only need to learn the local language.

Local Language Skills

Local language skills are the prerequisite for social welfare and healthcare jobs in Europe, so also in Finland. Therefore, the candidate must fulfil the minimum language skill level B1 defined in Finland before registering as a practical nurse. The candidate is free to choose any language training provider as long as the training in Finnish and German language complies with the quality standards set for language training by the Association of Language Testers in Europe. Nurse Finder recommends Santrupti Education and Training Foundationas a Finnish language training provider in India.

Employment

Nurse Finder will connect You with a local healthcare employer before or during your language studies as per your choice. You will have your employment contract in your hand latest before the relocation process is initiated. Job opportunities are immense in Europe due to the ageing population and the retirement of healthcare workers. European countries offer different pathways to healthcare jobs and local healthcare qualifications. You can read more about them in the country-specific pages. Some of the countries, like Finland, also offer an opportunity for family reunification.

Ethical and Fair Recruitment Process

Nurse Finder's operational practices are fair and ethical for Indian nurses as well as for our clients and business partners. We respect not only the ethical norms of European societies but also what is ethical in India. We are committed to the principles of the “WHO’s Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel”, the “General Principles and Operational Guidelines for Fair Recruitment of the ILO”, "International UN Human Rights Convention”, “UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights", and “ILO Core Labour Standards”, as well as the “Fair Recruitment Healthcare Germany” quality seal in terms of our German operations. We work only with such employers and business partners who commit to the same principles. More information can be found in Nurse Finder's General Business Terms and Conditions".

Nurse Finder's business operations are guided by the following five principles:

The recruitment is free of charge for nurses: We do not collect any recruitment-related fees from the candidates.

Transparency of information, services and costs: Both healthcare professionals and employers will always be able to make independent, responsible, and fully informed decisions.

Sustainability and participation: We encourage employers to have well-structured processes and an active attitude in the recruitment process to ensure that newly recruited employees will be retained for a long time.

Everything is agreed in writing: Contracts, conditional job offers and all other information for candidates are recorded in written form.

Overall responsibility: We do our best to ensure that all those involved in Europe and India know the immense responsibility associated with international recruitment.

Support and Feedback

The same Nurse Finder team provides support and assistance in India before the relocation and one year after the employee has relocated to Finland. The Nurse Finder personnel in India and Finland can be reached by WhatsApp, phone, and e-mail within office hours. We assist a nurse with the residence permit process and all the statutory registrations in Finland.

Nurse Finder has a feedback system online. Any complaints stakeholders may have will be answered maximum within three weeks. As a healthcare professional or a representative of an employer, you just need to leave your feedback on the Contact-us page, and we will get back to you.
