One sentence is enough: “Hello, I’m looking for work.” The rest happens in the conversation — in your language.
Short conversation
We ask questions, you ask questions. In Slovenian, Bosnian, Croatian, English or German.
Sign the contract and start
Paid training, Austrian social security sign-up (ÖGK), transport arranged. Your passport stays with you.
Retirement home or 24 hours at home
Two work settings. You decide what fits your life.
In a retirement home
You work in a licensed facility in Graz or surroundings. A team is on the floor with you, a supervisor is reachable, breaks are scheduled. A good fit if you like firm structure and colleagues around you.
- A team of colleagues on the floor
- Fixed shifts and scheduled breaks
- Doctors and qualified nurses on site — you are not alone
- Home every evening — your home stays yours
24-hour care at home
You live with an elderly person for 14 days — helping in daily life, cooking, accompanying, simply being there. Then 14 days at home with your own family. Night rest is protected: at night only in emergencies. If something isn't right, one call is enough — we move you the same day.
- One person, one family, one familiar home
- Food and lodging at the family are included
- Night rest protected — duty only in emergencies
- Same-day family swap if it's not a fit
What a day can look like
Every day is different. An honest example from 24-hour in-home care — not a brochure, this is how it really goes.
- · 0107:00Morning routine
Say good morning, help her get up, prepare breakfast. Remind her which medication is due now — she takes it herself.
- · 0209:00Conversation and the paper
Have coffee together, chat briefly, go through the paper. These are the minutes when she feels seen.
- · 0310:30A short walk
If the weather is good: arm in arm to the park or around the block. If not: seated gymnastics.
- · 0412:00Cook together, eat together
Simple food she likes. Sometimes while chopping onions she tells you stories from her youth.
- · 0513:30Afternoon rest — your free time
She sleeps for a few hours. You have a break — call home, do some yoga, lie down for a bit. Your time.
- · 0616:00Afternoon: coffee, visitors, hobby
Her daughter drops in, or you listen to the radio together. Sometimes a light cake with coffee. No big plans — simply being there.
- · 0721:00Good night — end of day
Dinner, medication, help to bed. After that the night is yours. Night rest is protected in the contract.
Night rest is protected in your contract. From 21:00 to 07:00 you're off — only real emergencies interrupt the night.
What's included — and what isn't
Clear, written, before you sign. No grey zones, no "can you also do this?" after three weeks.
Part of the job
- Help getting up, dressing, washing
- Remind about medication (she takes it herself)
- Cook meals and eat together
- Accompany on walks, doctor visits, shopping
- Light household help in the care area
- Company, listening, simply being there
Not part of the job
- Injections, wound dressing, medical procedures
- Intensive nursing — that's for qualified nurses
- Cleaning areas outside the care scope
- Working through without breaks — your night rest is protected
- Anything without a contract or off-the-books
If a family asks for something that's not in your contract, you simply say no — and call us. We talk to them, not you.
