Work for a carer

Senior care in Germany and Switzerland

Caring for seniors


Caring for the elderly is a gratifying job. The carer in the home is in charge of duties that always depend on the client's specific needs. Sometimes help in the house and companionship for an older person is sufficient. Other times professional nursing care is needed, such as help with personal hygiene, going to the toilet, help with moving and dressing, or supervision of the correct use of medication. In addition to a satisfied senior, the reward for your care will also be an attractive financial evaluation, depending on the client's state of health, language skills, and experience.

For our carers, we always try to provide the best possible working conditions and full support during their stay abroad. We regularly organize competitions for them for exciting prizes and relaxing holidays. We strive to make our carers as satisfied as their clients because only under such conditions is it possible to do your job well and with love.

1

Zoom interview

Knowledge of a foreign language is crucial for the work of caregivers. Therefore, we verify it with each new applicant through a short interview. This interview will help us better understand your language skills and abilities.

2

Document completion

If you have completed a caregiving course, have relevant certificates or written references from families where you have worked, please send them to us. These documents can significantly increase your chance of being approved for the position.

4

Approval

We will let you know whether you have been approved by the client for the selected offer. We will inform you about the approval well in advance so that you have time to prepare.

5

Traveling

We arrange transportation to the place of work via transport companies in a "door-to-door" manner. The carrier will pick you up at your address and take you directly to the family. If you prefer bus or train, you can choose this form of transportation. The travel allowance is listed with each offer.

6

Support during the work stay

During your entire work stay, we will provide you with support and assistance. You can contact us with any questions or problems that may arise.

7

Feedback and evaluation

After completing your work stay, you will provide us with feedback and evaluation. Your experiences will help us improve our services and ensure higher quality for future applicants.

Subsequent placement

If you are interested in further work after the end of your current work stay, we can help you find a new position in Germany. This process will be simpler because we will already have your information and experience.

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.
