Job description

Caregiving for a 71-year-old senior woman living in a family house on the outskirts of Berlin with her husband. The senior is fully dependent on a wheelchair following a stroke. She has multiple diagnoses: osteoporosis, rheumatism, and general age-related weakness. However, she is mentally completely sound and communicative. She requires assistance when transferring from bed to wheelchair but can actively cooperate, and it is not necessary to lift her completely. The greatest challenge is nighttime care – the senior needs to be repositioned every two hours due to pain and to prevent complications. Nighttime assistance is therefore regular, with the husband able to help, but he needs significant relief. The senior requires help with hygiene, dressing, toileting, and incontinence care (she uses diaper pants). During the day, support for mobility and basic comfort care is also needed. The caregiver will also handle routine household tasks – cooking, cleaning, laundry, and managing the household. Shopping is possible on foot approximately 15 minutes from the house, with larger shopping trips handled by the husband, who is fully mobile and active. The senior goes to bed around 23:00–24:00 and wakes up at approximately 6:00. The house is equipped with a stair lift, internet, and a furnished guest room. Time off is arranged in agreement with the husband, who is also present in the household and partially assists.

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.
