Diagnoses
The client is 36 years old and lives with his partner and two small children in a family home in Berghem, Noord-Brabant province. The client has a spinal cord injury at the C4 level. He lacks function in both lower and upper limbs and has no trunk stability, but he can move his arms and independently operate an electric wheelchair. The main aspect of care is assistance with intermittent catheterization, which is needed approximately 5–6 times a day. The caregiver performs the catheterization, while the client's partner, who works in urology, will provide thorough training. Additionally, assistance is required with bowel management, showering, dressing, positioning, and transfers. A ceiling lift is used for transfers, along with a sliding sheet. Daily care also includes skin checks and assistance with exercises involving functional electrical stimulation. The caregiver prepares medications, which the client then checks himself. For meals, food needs to be prepared and cut, but the client can eat independently using an adapted aid. Dinner is prepared approximately three times a week. Household duties for the caregiver include vacuuming and mopping floors twice a week. Other cleaning tasks are handled by a cleaner. Once a week, the caregiver accompanies the client on a shopping trip. The day starts at approximately 7:00 and ends with the last catheterization around 22:00–22:30. There is ample free time during the day, which the caregiver can organize in agreement with the client. Night care is not required. However, approximately once a month, the client returns home later in the evening during the weekend and needs assistance with getting into bed.

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