Georgian citizens will be able to receive legal employment in Israel to care for the sick

Citizens of Georgia will be able to work as support staff in long-term care institutions in Israel.

Israel is now the second country after Germany, where citizens of Georgia can seek legal employment abroad.

Registration for work begins on April 12 and will last one year. The duration of the work week is 6 days. The monthly salary for a 42-hour work schedule is 5,300 shekels per week (approximately $1,500).

Applicants must have a certificate or diploma of completion of a course in medical care for patients at home or a diploma in nursing. Then interested individuals can register on the special portal of the Ministry of Health workabroad.moh.gov.ge.

Israel is ready to accept thousands of such workers from Georgia.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for Georgian residents to come and live and work in Israel.

At this stage, only two countries were selected, one of which is Georgia,” said Israeli Ambassador Ran Gidor.
