Working in this field
Why home care?
Working independently
You plan your visits, make decisions on site and carry responsibility – with your team behind you.
Day shifts, flexible workloads
Nights are rare, workloads from 20% are common. Ideal for returning to work or alongside family.
Care where life happens
You meet people in their own homes and help them stay there – a special kind of closeness.
Typical roles
- Registered nurse (HF/FH)
- FaGe
- Certified care assistant
- Palliative care nurse
- Psychiatric home care
- Team lead
What a day looks like
A day in home care
- 1
Planning the route
At the base: who needs what today, which route, which supplies.
- 2
On the road
Insulin, dressings, personal care, preparing medication – and a conversation that often matters just as much.
- 3
Assessing
Is home still working? You observe, document and talk to the GP and relatives.

Back with the team
Exchange at the base, planning for tomorrow – shared responsibility.

Frequent questions
Does home care pay less than hospitals?
No — base salaries are at a similar level, sometimes slightly above. You forgo night allowances but gain predictable day shifts. FaGe earn CHF 5,000–6,300 in home care, registered nurses CHF 6,200–7,300 (×13).
Do I need a driving licence?
Usually yes (cat. B) — in cities, e-bike or public transport often suffices. Many organisations provide company cars or e-bikes.
Can I start with a small workload?
Yes, home care is the most flexible setting: workloads from 20% are common — ideal for re-entry after a family break. Increasing later is almost always possible.
