v. Bodelschwinghsche Stiftungen Bethel is one of Germany's largest social care providers, operating across approximately 300 locations in eight German states. Headquartered in Bielefeld, the organization employs roughly 26,000 people and has operated for over 150 years, beginning as a small institution for epileptic boys before expanding into a comprehensive diaconal care network.
The organization provides support and services across multiple care domains: disability services, epilepsy treatment, mental health conditions, elderly care, palliative and hospice care, and assistance for people in special life circumstances. Its diaconal foundation reflects a commitment to the principle that all people - regardless of health status or disability - can live, learn, and work together.
As a large, established provider in the German social care sector, Bethel operates a complex, distributed organization requiring skilled professionals across clinical, support, and administrative functions across its geographically dispersed network.
