Is this nursing or medical care?

No. The work is companionship and everyday help. Medical and nursing tasks stay with the professional services. Your contract names exactly what you do.

Do I need a care qualification?

No. Experience with older people and references count most. A care assistant certificate is welcome and shows on your profile.

The household employs you for the agreed hours. Helpore runs the contract, the social contributions and the insurance and pays out your net wage on the agreed date.

Do I need a work permit?

You need the right to work in Switzerland: Swiss citizenship, a settlement or residence permit, or a registration under the 90 day procedure for short stays. Helpore checks it during verification.

How fast can I start?

Most Helpers are verified within a few days of uploading their documents. Once your profile is public, households can book you immediately.

What does Helpore cost me?

Nothing as a Helper. Households pay Helpore's fee on top of your wage. Your hourly rate is yours.

Helpore is the platform in between: it draws up the contract, calculates and pays AHV, IV, EO, ALV and the accident insurance, withholds source tax where it applies, issues your monthly payslip and the yearly wage statement, and pays your net wage on the agreed date. You never chase a household for money.
