Promotion of work assistance

As a severely disabled person, you may be dependent on assistance in your day-to-day work. You yourself have the professional qualifications required at your workplace and perform the core area of your contractual or statutory duties yourself. However, due to your severe disability, you need regular support at work that goes beyond occasional assistance.

You are the client and employ your assistant as an employer (employer model) or agree a corresponding service with a third party, e.g. a professional assistance service (service model).

If your workplace is located in the Rhineland, you can submit an application to the LVR Inclusion Office.
