We are looking for a care assistant for a senior living in Bonn. The assignment starts on 10.12.2026. The senior needs comprehensive care: he cannot sit up on his own, needs full support during transfers and currently spends most of his time in bed. A care bed, wheelchair and rollator are available.
Duties include support with personal hygiene and dressing, help with mobility and assistance with incontinence care, including intimate hygiene and changing aids. The senior has significant difficulties speaking, so patience and empathy are important. A nursing service also visits. There are no night shifts. The care assistant receives 2 hours of free time per day.
The senior's wife also lives in the house and does not need care. A lockable room with a window, bed and wardrobe is provided; a private bathroom in the basement is available on request. The house is barrier-free and has internet. There are no pets. Smoking is allowed only outside the living area. Shops and doctors are not within walking distance; a bicycle is available. A cleaning service visits the house.
The duration will be agreed in a personal conversation. We look forward to your application!

What to expect
What this assignment means in practice
The key points from this assignment's description and how to prepare for them.
Bedridden care
Repositioning, personal care in bed and making sure the person drinks enough shape the day. Experience with bedridden people and safe transfer techniques helps.
Wheelchair and transfers
Transfers are about technique, not strength. Before you travel, ask which aids the household has, such as a hoist, a care bed or a transfer board.
No night shifts
According to the description, nights are free of duties. It's still worth agreeing working hours and breaks with the family right after you arrive.
Non-smoker
The family expects a non-smoker or smoking only outside the house. Say openly in your application whether you smoke — it makes matching easier.
Everyday German
Required level: conversational. Before you travel, brush up on phrases for meals, personal care and shopping. Centrum Eurokontakt also runs a German course for caregivers (taught in Polish).
Open to men
This offer is also open to male caregivers. Describe your experience in caring for older people in your application.
