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.
A pet in the home
Feeding or a short walk with the dog may be part of the daily routine. If you have an allergy or concerns, mention it in your application.
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).
