Bridging Healthcare Talent Between Portugal and Ireland
Founded with a mission to connect exceptional Portuguese healthcare professionals with rewarding opportunities in Ireland's thriving healthcare sector.
Our Story
PortGael was founded by healthcare professionals who understood the challenges of international recruitment firsthand. Having experienced the complexities of relocating for work, our founders were determined to create a smoother path for others.
We connect nurses and healthcare workers with nursing homes across Ireland, helping both sides find the right fit. Our focus is on clear communication, realistic expectations, and making the process straightforward from first contact to interview.
We work directly with Irish nursing homes to offer current, fast-moving vacancies for Nurses and Healthcare Assistants, matching candidates to roles that suit their experience and availability.
