Allied Health and Healthcare Assistant Recruitment
Allied health and care support roles are the hardest positions to fill consistently — high volume, high turnover, and a regulatory framework most generalist agencies don’t understand.
Allied health professionals: Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, radiographers, pharmacists, speech and language therapists, dietitians and laboratory scientists. Each carries its own registration pathway — HCPC in the UK, AHPRA in Australia, state licensure in the US, and we verify registration status before shortlist rather than after offer.
Healthcare assistants and care staff: HCAs, care assistants, senior carers and support workers for hospitals, care homes and domiciliary services. We screen on care-setting experience specifically, since acute hospital and residential care demand genuinely different skills despite sharing a job title.
Volume and ongoing supply: Where you need continuous supply rather than single placements, Alliance runs managed recruitment programmes with agreed monthly delivery targets and a maintained candidate pipeline.
Registration and Licensing We Manage
International healthcare hiring fails at registration, not sourcing.
| Destination | Regulator | What We Manage |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | NMC, GMC, HCPC | Registration application, OSCE and PLAB scheduling, English testing, sponsorship |
| United States | State boards, ECFMG | NCLEX, CGFNS, credential evaluation, visa screen certificate |
| UAE | DHA, DOH, MOH | Dataflow verification, licensing exam, eligibility letter, labour card |
| Saudi Arabia | SCFHS | Dataflow, classification, Prometric exam, iqama processing |
| Australia & NZ | AHPRA, NCNZ | Skills assessment, registration, English testing, visa nomination |
| Canada | Provincial colleges | NNAS assessment, provincial registration, credential recognition |
| Ireland | NMBI, CORU | Registration, adaptation programme coordination |
English language testing — IELTS, OET and equivalents, is coordinated as part of every international mandate, since it is the most common single point of failure.
Recruitment Corridors We Operate
Source markets: India, Philippines, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Egypt and the Caribbean — where Alliance maintains active candidate pipelines and local screening capability.
Destination markets: United Kingdom (NHS and private), Ireland, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Singapore.
Ethical recruitment: Alliance recruits in line with WHO guidance on international health personnel recruitment and does not source from countries on the WHO health workforce support and safeguards list. Candidates are never charged fees.
