Job description

Caregiving for a Senior (77 years, 80 kg, 176 cm) living with his wife in a family house. The gentleman is currently recovering from a stroke, has a PEG tube and a tracheostomy. He is currently bedridden and requires complete assistance with all activities. He was hospitalized (since 24.08.2025) and was confirmed to have a 4 MRGN strain. He experiences phases of clear consciousness alternating with periods of delirium and disorientation. He is currently still in rehabilitation, and the exact date of his return home will be specified. The senior is fully dependent on assistance for personal hygiene, dressing, repositioning, and transfers (full transfer). Regular repositioning, bed hygiene, emptying the catheter bag, and assistance with transferring to a wheelchair when his condition allows are necessary. Caregiving aids (wheelchair, adjustable bed) are in the process of being arranged. Night work is generally not required, though occasional repositioning may be needed. The job also includes general household care – meal preparation, shopping, cleaning, and laundry, with a supermarket within walking distance and sons available to assist with shopping. The wife lives in the house, is independent, and can cook, requiring no caregiving. A separate room with a private bathroom and internet is prepared for the caregiver. Free time is possible by arrangement.

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.
