Wuppertal – Barmenia Versicherungen, Wuppertal, is taking a stake in the digital platform Care Rockets GmbH, Wuppertal. Care Rockets offers the digital mediation of vacancies between employers and caregivers. Andreas Eurich, CEO of Barmenia Versicherungen, on the commitment to Care Rockets: “We want to help ensure that employers who are committed to humane working conditions for nursing staff have an advantage. The Care Rockets concept corresponds to our corporate culture: ‘Simple. Human. At the same time we support the innovative idea of a digital platform economy of the future and a Wuppertal startup. In this respect, the commitment to the Care Rockets is an ideal combination of different positive approaches.”
The special thing about the matching platform is that employers (hospitals, outpatient care services, inpatient care facilities, etc.) apply to the nursing specialists and nursing assistants and not vice versa. “With this approach,” says Pascal Kremp, founder and managing director of Care Rockets, “we are committed to improving working conditions in care by allowing fair employers to find the specialists they are looking for faster and better.” Silvan Schroeren, Head of Care, and a former nurse himself, adds: “The aim of Care Rockets is to make transparent which employers meet their nursing teams on an equal footing. The exchange on the platform between the nursing staff is also intended for this purpose .”
The participation of Barmenia Versicherungen is intended to promote the Care Rockets concept from the start-up to the growth phase and at the same time to provide the necessary support for expanding the offer for nursing staff and employers. Barmenia classifies the investment in its portfolio as a strategic option in the future care market.
