We are looking for a care assistant to support an elderly woman living in Bergen auf Rügen. She uses a wheelchair and needs help with transfers, moving around the home and daily activities.
Tasks include support with personal hygiene, including showering and intimate care, help with changing incontinence products, dressing and undressing, preparing meals and everyday companionship. She has mild memory difficulties, so patience and a calm approach are important. Reminding her to take her medication is also part of the role. There are no hearing, vision or speech difficulties. Night duties are occasional, not every night.
You will have your own room with a bed, wardrobe, window and lockable door. The toilet is on the same floor; there is no private bathroom in the room and no separate kitchen. Smoking is not allowed indoors (only outside the home). There are no pets and no other persons in need of care in the household. The home is barrier-free with internet access, but has no garden. The supermarket and bakery are within walking distance, doctors are not. There is no car or bicycle available. Two half days off per week are planned.
Start date: 20.12.2026. The duration will be confirmed during the selection process.

- Experience caring for elderly people, ideally with memory difficulties

What to expect
What this assignment means in practice
The key points from this assignment's description and how to prepare for them.
Memory problems or dementia
A steady daily routine, short and calm sentences and patience with repeated questions all help. You can talk through difficult situations with your permanent coordinator.
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.
Help at night
The description mentions support at night. Ask your coordinator how often it is needed and when you can rest during the day.
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.
