Christmas is considered to be the most wonderful time of the year, a holiday of peace and love. Many people want to spend them with their families and loved ones. But some professions have to work even during this period<\/strong>, because humanity could not do without them. This includes paramedics, doctors and other medical staff, police officers, firefighters, train drivers, bus drivers, public transport or taxi drivers. Care assistants<\/strong>, whether in nursing homes or providing 24-hour care, are no exception, as seniors require care regardless of the date in the calendar. <\/p>\n\n

Definitely, there is interest to work as a carer during Christmas holidays. <\/h2>\n\n

Nevertheless, many caregivers are interested<\/strong> in travelling abroad over the Christmas and New Year holidays<\/strong>. There are even more applicants this year than in previous years. Since the new year<\/strong>, there are fewer job offers<\/strong> available for caregivers. January to March<\/strong> are among the weaker months, when there are fewer<\/strong> places and families to fill . Candidates then have to wait longer for a job, so it is not a problem for them<\/strong> to leave for work even at Christmas. The reason for the interest to travel over the Christmas period is mainly the uncertain future <\/strong>awaiting us in the next year and the constant rapid increase in the prices of <\/strong>everything, high energy prices and inflation.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Christmas extras <\/h2>\n\n

Another thing that makes it tempting to work as a carer abroad over the holidays is that you’ ll earn more <\/strong>than on normal days, which makes it worthy. This money <\/strong>can then be used <\/strong>to have a nice<\/strong> time with your family<\/strong> after you return home from rotation . You have the chance to treat yourself like you’ve been wanting for a long time,<\/strong> or pay the bills<\/strong> you need to pay. As a carer, you can earn Christmas and New Year’s bonuses <\/strong>of up to 100% for holidays days worked. This will give you<\/strong> quite a nice sum<\/strong>. For more specific information on Christmas bonuses, please see the job adverts on our website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Another reason why it’s a good decision to travel during Christmas is that you won’t easily get such a chance to experience the festive atmosphere in another country<\/strong>. Plus, since you would be living in a senior’s home, you would save on utilities – heating, electricity, water, in your own home<\/strong>. If you add all these aspects together with the holiday extra pay, you really gain<\/strong> by doing so . <\/p>\n\n

Christmas in another country – an unforgettable atmosphere <\/h2>\n\n

You can gain new experiences as well<\/strong>. Experience Christmas customs traditional to a particular country<\/strong>. <\/strong>You will have the opportunity to get to know <\/strong>traditional Christmas dishes<\/strong>. Taste the<\/strong> usual meals<\/strong> at Christmas Eve dinner or visit Christmas market<\/strong> and soak up the true atmosphere of Christmas in another country. At the market you can taste mulled wine, punch or roasted chestnuts. You will admire various handcrafts, Christmas decorations and souvenirs that you can bring home to your family as a gift. On New Year’s Eve, on the eve of the beginning of the new year, you will experience the atmosphere of New Year’s celebrations in <\/strong>the form of fireworks, music and dancing. <\/p>\n\n

A Christmas spent outside your home country<\/strong> can be a very pleasant experience<\/strong> that you will remember for a lifetime. Especially if you’re the adventurous type. Moreover, many times families and carers have very good relationships with each other<\/strong>. Many families see the carers as part of the family<\/strong>, and this is evident at Christmas, too. Then the carer is considered as an equal member of the family<\/strong> at the Christmas Eve dinner. <\/p>\n\n

Just choose from <\/strong>our wide portfolio of job offers<\/a>, and you can experience<\/strong> this too. You can choose whether you want to spend Christmas and New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in Germany, Austria, Belgium or the Netherlands<\/strong>. Get an attractive<\/strong> financial reward<\/strong> and nice memories<\/strong>. In Atena<\/a>, we can also help you to arrange<\/strong> transport and we offer many other services.<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
