Areas we cover
Almeria · Almería
Almería lives between the sea and the fields: the Centre and Nueva Almería are apartment blocks, Zapillo and Retamar are beach areas with seasonal homes, and Vega de Acá mixes houses with plots of land. Many families work in intensive agriculture or transport, with days that begin before dawn, and need someone to run the house and look after the children while they are away.

Indicative salary
€1,221–1,600. Gross per month in 14 payments for full-time; part-time is paid pro rata. Indicative amount, non-binding.
Full-time work is more common than in other provincial capitals, because families need cover from early morning into the afternoon. Fewer hours are also on offer in Zapillo and Retamar outside the season, when the area quiets down.
What the service includes
Care for elderly or dependent people: personal hygiene, prescribed medication, companionship, mobility and meals.
Before hiring, describe the level of dependency, whether the person has to be moved, whether cooking is included and which nights need cover. In Almeria many families in Centro and Zapillo start with a few hours a day and extend once they see how the person responds: a prudent way to size the service.
What we ask of the professional
Experience in dependency or geriatric care, patience, references and often formal care training.
In Almeria we ask for experience in dependency care, patience and references; the work takes place mainly in Centro and Zapillo, and many families value training in moving a person safely and in giving prescribed medication.
Legal framework
Continuous personal care usually requires an employment contract with Social Security; home-help services have their own framework.
In Almeria we support the family through the paperwork: we review the contract before it is signed and check that registration and contributions are up to date.
