Caregiver

At AFANIAS, we have spent more than 60 years accompanying people with intellectual disabilities and their families so that they can develop their life projects with the greatest possible autonomy, dignity, and quality of life.

From our Canillejas Residence, we work every day to create a home where people receive the support they need, participate actively in their environment, and can fully develop their capacities, interests, and personal relationships.

We seek professionals committed to people, inclusion, and good treatment, who share a vision centered on each individual and who understand that accompanying means supporting, listening, fostering autonomy, and being present in the important moments of daily life.
