Caregiver placement
Once a permit is in place, we help place a caregiver from abroad or from people already in Israel.

Common questions
What services do you provide?
Yad Harutzim supports the employment of a foreign caregiver: help with the permit application, placement from abroad or from workers already in Israel, matching during a home visit, and support during the employment. We also support families funded by public bodies, health funds, and insurers. There is no single price list.
How do we get started?
Call the branch in Ashkelon, Tel Aviv, or Beer Sheva, or leave a name, a phone number, and a locality on the form. The call clarifies whether a benefit or a permit already exists. Do not send medical documents through the website.
Who decides whether a permit is granted?
The Population and Immigration Authority. Yad Harutzim helps prepare and file the application, but it does not grant eligibility and cannot promise a positive answer.
Can we employ someone without a permit?
No. The law prohibits employing a foreign caregiver without an employment permit and a valid work visa. Once there is a permit, the employer and the worker must be registered with a licensed bureau.
How much does it cost?
There is no single price list. The cost of employment depends on the working conditions and on each family’s circumstances, and a figure cannot be given without a conversation. A nursing benefit, if there is one, is not Yad Harutzim’s price. Please call a branch.
