Job description

We are looking for a caregiver for a 91-year-old lady who lives alone in a ground-floor apartment of a family house. The senior has limited mobility and relies on a wheelchair. She suffers from common health issues associated with aging, such as weakened heart valves, incontinence, aging of the body, and an increased risk of falls. Despite these difficulties, she is mentally oriented appropriately for her age and is capable of communication. Currently, she cannot put weight on her knee, so she requires assistance with transferring to the wheelchair, and a patient lift may be used. The caregiver's duties will include providing assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, undressing, assistance with toilet visits, and ensuring incontinence aids are available. It will also be necessary to supervise medication intake, which is prepared by her daughter, and maintain the household, including cleaning, laundry, and cooking. Large shopping trips can be done together with the daughter, while smaller purchases are within walking distance. A gas stove is used in the household. Night service may be required, though not daily, and mainly involves ensuring the senior's safety. The caregiver will have access to a separate furnished room with a private bathroom and internet connection. The schedule for free time will be arranged with the client's daughter. Transportation up and down the stairs is provided by a stair lift.

Frequently asked Questions - Carers

Do you charge fees?

You don't pay our employment agency anything at all. We believe it is not right to charge people money in order to enable them to work, and so we offer assistance in finding job positions completely free of charge.

Do I have to be self-employed?

Most job positions in Germany are based on Slovak/Czech trade licenses, though employment contracts are possible with some families. In Switzerland, work is conducted under Swiss employment contracts.

Do I need a nursing course for a carer job?

No, completing a caregiving course is not necessary for most job positions; however, it is important to have at least some experience from a home environment.

How long will it take you to find my family?

Finding a family is a highly individual matter for each applicant, and therefore there is no exact timeframe for when we will find you a family with whom you will be mutually compatible. In some cases, we are able to arrange work within a few days; in other instances, the waiting period can be up to a month. For families in Switzerland, due to high demand, the wait may extend to two months.

Can you help me travel? Who pays for the trip?

If you are interested, we can arrange transportation for you. We have long-term partnerships with transport companies that our caregivers happily use repeatedly. Of course, you can also choose another transportation method that you prefer. The caregiver pays for the journey themselves, with the family in Germany contributing €150-200 towards it, and in Switzerland 380 CHF.

How long are rotations usually?

In Germany, the standard length of a work period is 4 to 6 weeks, while in Switzerland it's 2 months. In the case of temporary replacements, the periods are shorter.

What is the salary and what does it depend on?

The salary range in Germany is between €1200 and €2200 per month on a trade license. Compensation depends on the required language and other skills, the client's health condition, and whether care is provided for an individual or a married couple. In Switzerland, the salary ranges from 2460 to 2500 CHF per month on a Swiss employment contract.

What level of German do I need to have for a carer job?

In Germany, an intermediate to good knowledge of German is most commonly required, while some families are satisfied with basic knowledge and/or require knowledge of another language, such as Czech or Russian. Families in Switzerland require good knowledge of German, though sometimes an upper-intermediate level is sufficient.

Do you also offer work for male carers?

Yes, we have been successfully placing male caregivers in families as well.
