The advantages of working as a family caregiver at SpitexCare
Caring for a loved one is an emotional journey that can be both fulfilling and challenging. At SpitexCare, we recognise the invaluable work that family carers do and want to empower them through employment and targeted support. In this article, we look at the benefits of becoming a family carer with SpitexCare and explain why this could be a good move for you.
Recognition and support
Family caregivers are the invisible heroes of our healthcare system. However, their work is generally not perceived and recognized accordingly. At SpitexCare, we are committed to giving this crucial role a visible and secure framework. Employment as a family caregiver offers you the opportunity to receive structured support for your work and recognition for your commitment and care.
Securing your livelihood & pension provision
In addition to recognition, employment as a family caregiver with SpitexCare also offers financial benefits. You can earn an additional income that helps you to secure your livelihood without having to give up your caring activities. In addition, employment secures your social benefits and pension entitlements, which is particularly important with regard to your future.
Access to resources and training
As part of the SpitexCare team, you will have access to a wealth of resources and training. Our training programs, led by experienced care professionals, cover a wide range of topics from the basics of caregiving to specialized caregiving practices. Whether you have previous caregiving experience or are just starting out, we provide the support and education you need to provide the best care for your loved one.
Replacement during vacation absences & important appointments
SpitexCare offers flexible support options tailored to your specific needs. Whether it's providing substitute caregivers for important appointments or helping to organize medical appointments, we're here to facilitate and support your caregiving needs.
Added value for the community and society
Your employment with SpitexCare not only has benefits for you and your loved one, but also helps to ease the burden on the healthcare system. It helps to reduce the pressure on the healthcare system and contributes to meeting the need for caregivers, especially in a society where the population is ageing.
Regular personal support
Caregiving is often more than just a list of tasks. It is a personal, often emotional commitment that comes with challenges and issues that require individual support. That's why a SpitexCare representative will visit you personally once a month at home. These visits provide an opportunity to discuss problems, clarify questions and learn practical tips and tricks for care. Personal contact is an essential part of our commitment to supporting you on your care journey and showing that you feel confident and valued in your role.
Conclusion: Enough reasons for employment

It offers recognition, financial security, access to training and resources, flexible support and also helps to ease the burden on the healthcare system.
