New Zealand is experiencing a shortage in many skilled labour areas but registered nurses to care for the elderly are in critically short supply. Many companies are so desperate for staff that they are having to attract carers from overseas.
The southern hemispheres largest rest home provider, The Selwyn Foundation, has recently dispatched a team to South Africa to attend the Opportunities New Zealand Expo, held over the 19th and 20th July in Johannesburg, specifically to recruit potential migrants. Human resource manager Lorraine Sobotka says “a worldwide shortage of registered nurses means it is harder than ever to find people who want to care for the elderly”.
6000 people are expected to attend the Expo this weekend and The Selwyn Foundation, combined with many other influential Kiwi companies, expects to be offering hundreds of jobs to skilled South Africans over the two days.
