Looking for a Flexible Part-Time Job as a Care Assistant?
Support elderly people in need of help in your area.
We know how important it is to consider both the wishes and needs of the seniors as well as the care workers.
As a helper, you support seniors from your local area in their daily lives and provide them with companionship. For example, you might go for walks together or assist with small household tasks. The tasks assigned to you always depend on your previous experience, training, and, of course, your personal preferences. Over time, many of our helpers have also formed friendships with the seniors!
By offering hourly care, focusing on short travel distances, and simplifying administrative tasks, we ensure that you have enough time to really engage with the seniors.
