Who are we?
Home Help and Care Liège – Huy – Waremme, in partnership with the Mutualité Chrétienne de Liège, offers and coordinates integrated, multidisciplinary home help and care services in the districts of Liège, Huy and Waremme.
It promotes networking in order to meet patients' needs.
To achieve this, it can count on the collaboration of more than 750 professionals (family carers, nurses, nursing assistants, home carers, coordinators, social domestic helpers, multi-skilled workers, childcare workers, etc.).
Your responsibilities
Home helpers are called upon to assist elderly people, families, sick people or people with disabilities who have difficulty performing everyday tasks. Their role is to enable people to remain in their own homes by preserving and stimulating their independence and ensuring their quality of life. Family carers act in the best interests of the beneficiary and respect their freedom of choice.
In the Walloon Region, the Brussels-Capital Region and the German-speaking Community, the work of family carers is defined by a specific status.
The family support worker reports to the social worker who supervises them and to the ASD management team.
