milkeybar kid Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I have received a local advert as regards someone -Quote-:Qualified, caring, English nurse offering part- time home help services, to the retired and handicapped, price on application.End quote.Now, I do know of 2 people that this kind of help would be a blessing to,so could someone tell me will the nurse need to be French approved (with French nursing certificate) if so what is it? Wondering why I have received this - must have looked a bit frayed around the edges last week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I'd been interested in this too milkeybar, for someone I know - not a nurse but a qualified and very experienced carer. I'm guessing it should be very flexible because the sick / elderly can apply for a care allowance that can be paid to someone to come in and provide for their care needs. It can also be paid to a family member (who is unlikely to have formal qualifications) to provide those same services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Assuming the nursing diploma was obtained in an EU country, it is recognised in France.The nurse should contact the DDASS (Direction Des Affaires Sanitaires et Sociales) in the departement where he/she wishes to practice.He/she should provide a copy of his/her passport, a copy of your diploma, acertificate from the authorities who delivered the diploma confirmingthat the training conforms to EU standards and a translation for thosepapers which are in a foreign language.

Scooby Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Do carers have to be nurses in France or can they be qualified as carers (NVQ3/4)? (In the UK those providing ongoing care in the home are very unlikely to be qualified nurses.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Carers are called aide-soignant (aide-soignante for a woman).More details here (and here for a Google-English translation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkeybar kid Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Thank you Clare. Scooby, good question. On the other hand all these questions and answers could be of great interest to those folk that are very active wanting to do some part time caring for the older English community as auto entrepreneur- perhaps!
