Become a Care Companion with GOveteran

Do you want to make a difference in someone else's life while gaining a meaningful side job?

Many elderly people experience loneliness and miss someone to talk to, walk with, or do everyday activities with. That is why GOveteran is now looking for more care companions.

What does a Care Companion do?

As a care companion, you become an important part of another person's daily life. You contribute with presence, companionship, and social stimulation. A care companion meets a client regularly for activities that the client desires.

This can include:

• Walks
• Conversations over a cup of coffee
• Companionship during activities
• Reading aloud
• Card games and board games
• Help with simple errands
• Accompanying to the doctor, hairdresser, or store
• Cleaning / laundry (but not personal hygiene)
• Joint excursions

The most important thing is not what you do, but that the client receives social companionship and human contact.

We offer

• Hourly employment with salary, holiday pay, and insurance
• Flexible working hours
• Assignments close to where you live
• Opportunity to work alongside retirement, studies, or other commitments
• A job that creates real quality of life for other people
• Support from GOveteran's central coordination

Typical assignments involve 1–3 meetings per week, lasting 2–4 hours per session.

We are looking for someone who

• Likes people
• Is attentive and empathetic
• Is responsible and reliable
• Has an easy time building trust
• Wants to contribute to reducing loneliness and increasing joy in life

Previous experience from healthcare, social care, or social work is advantageous but not a requirement.
