2022-03-30T09:17:34.608Z


What if you became a babysitter or a gardener? Apef, the network of personal services agencies, is recruiting with a vengeance. 250 positions


The industry is hiring.

Apef, the network of personal assistance service experts, is currently seeking to fill 1,000 positions in France, including 250 in Ile-de-France.

Caregiver, housekeeper, child minder or gardener, these jobs are in high demand.

Why is the personal services sector recruiting?

These professions are in tension while the needs are exploding.

And this with the elderly, but also for household tasks with a younger audience.

“Working couples, who work a lot, want the housework to be done and the children's dinner prepared when they return home late at night,” explains Sébastien Cogez, the director of Apef.

Except that the specialized companies do not always manage to meet the demands, for lack of personnel.

What profiles are you looking for?

Adults in retraining, students, retirees… Regardless of age or skill level, anyone who wishes can apply.

“We have just hired a 70-year-old gardener.

This pensioner had had a child late in life.

Today, he needs to make ends meet to finance his son's studies.

There is no discrimination in employment with us.

You have to come with your desire to be useful and your know-how,” says Sébastien Cogez.

According to the company, it is motivation, dynamism and empathy that count.

The workers are there to support people with loss of autonomy or provide comfort to families.

These are permanent positions, full-time or part-time, depending on what the employee wishes.

The agencies in the network also recruit work-study students.

For what salary conditions?

Faced with serious recruitment difficulties, they say they are ready to make efforts to make these professions more attractive.

“Interventions are sectorized so that employees spend as little time as possible in transport.

We offer our employees good working conditions, thus optimizing schedules, training them and encouraging development.

Thus, housekeepers have become branch managers,” continues Sébastien Cogez.

Contrary to popular belief, you can sometimes earn more than the minimum wage.

“This is the case with housekeepers.

And carers who earn an average of 11 euros per hour, ”continues Sébastien Cogez.

How to apply?

To apply, go to the Apef website.

Or directly in one of the 25 agencies in Île-de-France.

“You have to come in and introduce yourself, even without a CV.

In reality, we are constantly recruiting,” concludes Sébastien Cogez.
