Care and nursing

Care homes and home-care services need staff all year round, from registered nurses to care companions.

  • Registered nurse
  • Hospital and general nursing
  • Geriatric care
  • Nursing assistant
  • Care support worker
  • Care companion
  • Everyday-life assistant
  • Night duty
  • Domestic work in care homes

Care is the field with the largest and steadiest demand. Homes look for qualified nurses for treatment and assistants for daily support.

Language matters more here than in other industries. Anyone who looks after residents and writes notes needs a solid intermediate level. For assistant roles less is often enough when the team speaks German.

For qualified staff the recognition of the diploma comes up early. The procedure runs through the responsible office of the federal state and needs complete papers. We help to gather the documents and name the steps, but we do not decide the outcome.

Employers who describe accommodation and induction clearly receive far more acceptances. Please state in the questionnaire whether a flat is available.

Typical requirements

  • German at level B1 as a rule, often B2 for registered nurses
  • A vocational qualification with certificates and training records
  • For qualified nurses, a recognition procedure may be needed
  • Readiness for shift work, weekends and night duty
  • Health screening records as the employer requires
  • Experience of working with people who need care

Typical conditions

  • Full-time or part-time on a shift rota
  • Premiums for nights, Sundays and public holidays
  • Structured induction within the team
  • Support with accommodation and registration
  • In-house training
