Disability Care Assistant | Care & Welfare Aide

Do you want to do work that truly matters?

Are you caring, patient, and do you get energy from supporting people who rely completely on you? Then come work as a Disability Care Assistant / Care & Welfare Aide and strengthen our permanent team. Here, you make a difference every day for clients with intensive care needs and receive the space to further develop yourself.

We are adults between the ages of 27 and 60 with severe care-dependent disabilities. Many of us are wheelchair-bound and completely dependent on others for our daily care and guidance. Expressing our wishes does not always happen with words. Therefore, we communicate through sounds, facial expressions, and body language. You will learn to recognize our signals and understand what we need. Because we cannot perform many tasks independently, we rely on you to take over care, support, and guidance. With your attention, patience, and involvement, you ensure that we feel safe, comfortable, and seen.
