Applying to ALQUBTAN costs nothing and takes a few minutes. You fill in one online form, and our team contacts you within 24 hours on WhatsApp or by phone. You do not upload or send any documents with the form. This guide explains what to have ready and what happens afterwards.
Before you open the form
Decide which job describes you best, because the form asks you to choose one: housemaid, nanny or babysitter, cook, elderly caregiver, housekeeper or all-around helper. Pick the work you have done most, not the one you imagine is most in demand. If you are not sure where you fit, our guides for nannies, housekeepers and housemaids and caregivers describe each role.
Then put your work history in order. For each job you have held, you should be able to say where it was, what your role was, roughly how long you stayed and what you did from day to day. Not all of it goes into the form, but you will be asked about it when we speak to you, and it is far easier to answer well when you have already thought it through.
What the form asks
Four things are required:
- Your full name
- A phone or WhatsApp number, with the country code
- Your nationality
- The job you are applying for
The rest is optional but useful: your age, marital status, years of household experience, whether you have a passport, when you could start, your skills, the languages you speak and a short introduction.
Take care with the phone number, because it is the only way we can reach you. Start with a plus sign and your country code, for example +63 for the Philippines or +971 for the UAE, and check every digit before you send. Please do not type passport numbers or other identity numbers anywhere in the form.
Describe your skills as they really are
In the skills and introduction boxes, write what you have actually done. "Cared for two children aged three and six for two years, including their meals and school runs" tells us far more than "good with children". If there is something you have not done but would like to learn, say so plainly. Willingness to learn is a good thing. It is simply not the same as experience, and an employer needs to know which of the two they are getting.
After you send it
- A confirmation appears on the page straight away.
- Our team reviews your application and contacts you within 24 hours, on WhatsApp or by phone.
- When we speak, we tell you which documents are needed, such as a CV, a passport copy or a photo. You send them then, not before.
Sending an application does not guarantee a job offer. It puts your details in front of our recruitment team so that you can be considered.
Keep your phone reachable and your WhatsApp active. If your number, your location or your availability changes, let us know so that your details stay current. Our support is available 24 hours a day, so you can message us whenever a question comes up.
Things to be careful about
Applying is free, and ALQUBTAN will never ask you for any payment. If someone asks you for money in our name, do not pay; contact us directly.
Before you accept any job, make sure you understand what the work is, where it is, what you will be paid and when you rest. Keep asking until it is clear. Remember, too, that being in the UAE on a visit or tourist visa is not the same as being allowed to work there: the proper employment and residency steps have to be completed first.
Questions applicants ask
Do I need to send my CV or passport with the form?
No. The form has no upload, and you should not send documents until our team has contacted you and asked for them.
How soon will I hear from you?
Within 24 hours of sending the form, on WhatsApp or by phone.
Can I apply for more than one job?
The form takes one. Choose the job that matches your experience best and mention your other skills in the skills box.
I have no experience in the job I want. Should I still apply?
Apply for the work you can genuinely do, and be clear about what would be new to you. Do not invent experience.
