I would like to say that the employment department for Nefesh b'Nefesh has been unflagging in its dedication to finding jobs for new olim - following through and helping at every stage, responsive to all inquiries, and always on the lookout for what is best for the oleh.

I made an appointment at the NBN office to review my new resume tailored for the Israeli market.  The advice they give one is advice anyone who is job hunting knows - network, network, network.  What NBN gave me was a built-in network that I could immediately start to connect with.  However the most important thing I received was the belief that I had a great team behind me and that I am not alone!

To start me off, NBN gave me all the necessary tools and resources to begin the search. And the best part about this all was that they themselves were looking out for me, and sending my resume to any fitting positions they found. With their help, I landed my first job in Israel in a very reasonable about of time. A big thank you to the NBN Employment Department!

The NBN Employment Department sent me the links from their job board. I sent my resume to positions that I thought were relevant and gave my specific information to the NBN Employment Department. A month later I get a reply from someone who got my resume from the NBN Employment Department. I was thrilled!

I started looking for a job on my own as soon as I arrived in Israel and after three months without a decent break, I reached out to NBN for help. NBN told me that they would start sending out my resume which I thought would be a nice, extra outlet. I was feeling hopeless, but now I am now very happily employed thanks to NBN who connected me with my current employer! Thank you NBN

The NBN Employment Department gave us realistic expectations and helped us prepare a game plan - who to meet, which sectors are looking, how to make and approach potential contacts. Throughout the process, it was evident how the NBN staff care and do their utmost to help new Olim transition successfully. I found a wonderful job (that matches 100% what I desired in a position) because the NBN Employment Counselor saw a position and cared enough to send my resume in to the company. I received a phone call not too long after, and a few interviews later I am happily employed!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your assistance yesterday. I walked into your office not quite knowing what to expect and was amazed by the type of assistance that you were able to provide.

Criminology

Important Note: Misrad Habriut (Ministry of Health) is currently at the beginning stages of regulating clinical criminologist's licenses. As of now, Misrad Habriut is only receiving documents for criminologists who previously worked in Israel and obtained a certificate from Misrad Habriut.

Disclaimer: Misrad Habriut regulations are subject to change without advance notice and are constantly changing. For the most current information regarding licensing procedures, please see: www.health.gov.il. Nefesh B’Nefesh does not take responsibility for inaccuracies on the site or changes to the law.

Misrad Habriut now offers a customer call center to answer questions about licensing for health care professionals. Call *5400 from Israel or 972-8-6241010 from abroad. The center operates Sunday through Thursday, 8am-6pm, and Fridays from 8am-1pm, Israel time.

Licensing Procedure for Clinical Criminologists

In order to obtain a license from the Ministry of Health, you must personally submit your request at the Bureau of Health closest to your home (according to the address written in your Israeli Identification Card.)

The following is a list of the documents necessary for processing this request:

  • 3 passport photos.

  • 3 photocopies of Israeli identity card, including the address stub and/or photocopy of passport with valid authorization for living in Israel.

  • Final diploma from a recognized university indicating completion of studies for a master’s degree in clinical criminology, or certification from the university regarding completion of all requirements for the institution, and entitlement to a diploma as  a clinical criminologist to be awarded on a certain date.

  • Official confirmation of beginning and ending date of studies.

  • For overseas graduates – work license from abroad (in the event that the requested license cannot be attached, attach a letter of explanation).

  • For overseas graduates (and in the relevant cases, Israeli graduates as well) – official work permits from the appropriate institutions, and notations regarding the starting and ending dates of work at each institution (in the relevant cases – a work card).

  • For overseas graduates: professional letter of good standing from the authorized bodies in the country from which the applicant immigrated to Israel. The letter confirms that there are no, and have not been any, disciplinary, negligence or professional ethics complaints against the clinical criminologist.

  • Israel Police confirmation of the absence of criminal records (or alternatively: details of the existing criminal records in the applicant’s name). In the absence of confirmation, the Medical Professionals Licensing Division will contact the police to receive the confirmation.
  • Registration form (in 3 copies).

Note:

  • Original certificates and documents not written in Hebrew or Arabic must be translated into Hebrew by a notary in Israel who has a command of Hebrew and the language from which the original document was translated.
  • All of the documents must be submitted in the original plus 2 photocopies. If a notary translated the document, the original notarized copy and 2 photocopies of the translation should be attached. If the document is not translated, it should be submitted in 3 copies, with the photocopies verified at the office by comparing them to the original document. 
Knowledge of Hebrew
A good working knowledge of Hebrew is essential. It is strongly advised to take Ulpan upon arrival. In addition to regular ulpan, Misrad Haklita offers an ulpan for medical professionals - shlav bet. They will open this class provided there are enough people interested. Be in touch with your branch of Misrad Haklita to find out when the next class will begin.
