Start as soon as possible. A caregiver is sought for a senior couple in Würzburg. Both are fully oriented and live in a family house with an area of 200 m² – the seniors occupy the 1st floor, and the caregiver has access to a guest room with a private bathroom and internet on the ground floor. The first person being cared for is an 86-year-old gentleman (170 cm, 63 kg) with early-stage dementia, Parkinson's, and mild diabetes managed with tablets. After a fall resulting in fractures of the right shoulder and hip, he is unable to stand or walk. A full transfer (without his cooperation) is required from bed to wheelchair using an electric hoist available in the household, along with a care bed and wheelchair. The goal is gradual mobilization, and from the end of October, he will have mobile rehabilitation at home three times a week. He should spend about 3 hours daily in the wheelchair, mostly lying down otherwise. He is entirely dependent on assistance for dressing, hygiene, and toileting – uses a urinal for urination and a toilet chair for bowel movements (once every 2 – 3 days). He needs partial help with eating and a patient approach, and medication intake must be supervised. The second person being cared for is an 83-year-old lady (168 cm, 58 kg) who is fully self-sufficient. No night service is required. The caregiver's duties will also include cooking (good cooking skills are welcomed – varied and balanced meals from fresh ingredients), shopping, cleaning, and laundry for the entire household. A physically fit and strong individual capable of transfers is sought, with experience in caring for immobile clients, using an electric hoist, and ideally with Parkinson's and dementia. Good German skills are required, and smoking is only allowed outside the apartment. The family prefers a female, but a male is acceptable. Free time: 2 hours at noon and 2 half-days or 1 full day by agreement.

ALSES – your reliable partner on the path to a successful career.
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.
A caregiving course is not required for families in Germany, but you need at least some experience of caring at home. In Switzerland, most families require a caregiving course.
Finding a family is an individual matter for every candidate, so there is no exact time frame for when we will find you a family that suits you both. In some cases we can arrange a job within a few hours, at other times the wait is a few days. For families in Switzerland, the wait can stretch to a month because of high demand. We place candidates fastest in the summer months, June – August, and more slowly from the end of January to the end of March.
If you wish, we will organise your transport. We have worked for many years with transport companies that our caregivers are happy to use again and again. You can of course choose another way of travelling that you prefer. The caregiver pays for the journey herself and the family contributes to it – €180 – 300 in Germany, CHF 380 – 400 in Switzerland, depending on the offer. If you do not have the cash to travel to Germany, we can pay the fare for you and deduct it from your pay afterwards.
In Germany a standard assignment lasts 4 – 6 weeks, in Switzerland 2 – 3 months. Replacement assignments are shorter.
In Germany the pay is up to €3 500 a month as a self-employed caregiver – the exact amount is stated in each offer. It depends on your German, the client’s state of health and whether you care for one person or a married couple. In Switzerland the pay is up to CHF 3 500 net a month on a Swiss employment contract.
In Germany, families most often require intermediate to good German; some are happy with basic German and/or want another language, such as Czech, Russian or Bulgarian. Families in Switzerland require good German, although a solid intermediate level is sometimes enough.
Yes, we successfully place male caregivers with families too.
