Working as a social care worker in France
Search for accompagnant éducatif et social (AES), and also the older titles aide médico-psychologique (AMP) and auxiliaire de vie sociale (AVS), still found in ads. The usual diploma is the Diplôme d'État d'accompagnant éducatif et social (DEAES), available through initial training, apprenticeship or validation of experience (VAE). Employers include EHPAD, specialised homes (MAS, FAM), institutes for children with disabilities (IME) and home care services (SAAD). Do not confuse the AES with the AESH, who supports pupils with disabilities in schools under a separate contract with the Éducation nationale. Foreign care qualifications may need recognition, so check with the regional authority (DREETS) before applying.
