Your documents,
examined before the move.

Create a profile and photograph your documents with your phone. We examine them and your profile shows what is complete and legible and what is still absent. Free for you, without exception.

No scanner, no office

What you need

A phone with a camera and your documents. That is the whole list. You photograph your diploma, your employment references and, if you have one, your language certificate. We obtain nothing on your behalf — gathering the papers is yours to do.

If something is missing we say so on the same day, specifically, rather than leaving you waiting. A missing language certificate is an item on a list, not a rejection.

  • ✓ Diploma or proof of training
  • ✓ Employment references from your previous posts
  • ✓ Language certificate, if you have one
  • ✓ Passport

Your route

Five steps to your first working day

  1. 01

    Gather the documents

    Diploma, employment references, language certificate, passport. The candidate sees to this.

    the candidate
  2. 02

    Have them examined

    They are submitted to us. We check that they are complete, legible and consistent, and we display the status reached.

    a few days
  3. 03

    Recognition

    Application for authorisation to practise, filed with the Ministry of Health by the candidate.

    authority
  4. 04

    Residence

    EU citizen: declaration of arrival at the commune. Third country: residence authorisation applied for from abroad.

    authority
  5. 05

    Engagement

    The institution decides, concludes the contract and notifies the start of employment.

    the institution

Steps 03 and 04 lie with the authorities, and the applications are yours to file. We are not party to them, prepare nothing, submit nothing and can report nothing about their progress. EU citizens skip most of step 04.

What we will not promise

We will not quote you a salary before you have spoken to a specific employer. It depends on seniority, night shifts and the collective agreement. A website that throws a number at you is usually betting you will not check.

We will not find you a post, a flat or a decision from the ministry either, and we will not tell an employer to choose you. What we do is examine the documents you submit and show on your profile what they evidence — before you pack a suitcase.

Common questions

What people ask most

Is this really free for me?

Yes, at every point. Using the portal is free for nurses, and that is fixed in the software and in the database so that it cannot be worked around. We charge employers and nobody else. If anyone asks you for money in the name of CareBridge, please write to us.

I am an EU citizen. Is the route shorter?

Considerably. As a national of an EU country you need no visa and no work permit and may travel immediately. What remains is recognition of your professional title by the Ministère de la Santé and the evidence of your language ability. There is a separate page for Polish nurses at carebridge.lu/pl.

I do not speak French. Does that rule me out?

Not automatically. Luxembourg is multilingual and the need differs by region: in some houses German carries further than French. Without recognised evidence of a language, however, it becomes difficult, and the level required is set by the employer and the ministry, not by us.

What happens to my documents?

They are processed on servers in Luxembourg. Employers first see a short view without your name and without your contact details; the full dossier only once they have unlocked it, and you are notified when that happens. Telephone numbers and email addresses are never released. More on this in the privacy policy (DE).

Do you guarantee me a job?

No, and nobody should promise you that. We examine the documents you submit and show on your profile what is evidenced. Whether an employer unlocks your dossier, and whether a contract follows, is entirely their decision.
