About the job

Securing Nachwuchs for care and support
Being able to count on enough staff for care and support in the future remains a major challenge for many institutions in the healthcare sector. Spitex Nidwalden is taking precautions. With our commitment to training, we are taking responsibility for the future.

Practical training is important to us. Therefore, our trainees also visit you. To ensure quality, they are regularly accompanied by an experienced specialist.

Training

Spitex Nidwalden trains young people as well as those with more life experience in three professions. Our training always includes learning on site – that is, at your home. Specially trained trainers or experienced colleagues accompany the trainees during their visits. This ensures quality as well as practical and diverse training.

At the same time, we want to ensure that we can continue to count on enough and well-qualified staff in the future. Thank you for enabling us with your openness to offer motivated trainees interesting training places.
