Clear terms before you decide
Know what you are agreeing to
A good assignment is more than a job title and a rate. Before accepting, you can discuss the working terms, requirements and available details with a recruiter.
Form of cooperation
We explain the contract type and the next formalities. You can clarify questions before accepting an offer rather than after departure.
Remuneration
The rate is shown with each current offer. A recruiter will explain the settlement terms and answer questions about payment.
Assignment details
You learn the location, care needs, required language level, start date and other information available for the assignment.
A named contact person
Each offer includes a recruiter's phone number and email address, so you know exactly who can discuss your application.
Questions before your first call
You do not need to know every answer before applying. A short conversation helps identify opportunities that suit your situation.
Do I need to speak German?+
The required language level depends on the assignment and is listed in its requirements. If you are unsure about your level, a recruiter can help identify which offers are worth considering.
Can I apply without choosing a specific offer?+
Yes. Send your CV or contact details and describe your experience and availability. The recruitment team can contact you when a suitable opportunity appears.
What information should I prepare for the call?+
It helps to know your care experience, German level, driving licence status and possible start date. The recruiter will explain which documents are needed later.
Can I ask about the care recipient and local conditions?+
Yes. Available assignment details are discussed before you decide. Prepare questions about duties, daily routine and the family's expectations.
What happens after I send an application?+
A recruiter contacts you to discuss experience and availability. You then review suitable options and next steps together. Applying does not oblige you to accept an assignment.
What if something inappropriate happens at the placement?+
Report it to your coordinator straight away. We act on it: we sort the matter out with the family, move you to another placement or arrange your return home.
