Giving joy
The great search for the next generation of clowns
Due to the high demand, the Red Noses in Carinthia are expanding their team. They are also looking for career changers.
The trick is to spread a positive atmosphere when meeting people who are in a bad way," explains Christian Moser, one of the first clowns in Carinthia. The Red Noses Clowndoctors association has existed throughout Austria for 30 years.
The beauty of the job is that you can give something positive and enchant a moment. It's about closeness and human contact.

In Carinthia, clowns have been visiting facilities such as hospitals, retirement homes and children in refugee camps since 1995 to bring a smile to their faces. Because the need is constantly increasing, the number is being increased. "We are not only looking for people who have experience in performing, but also career changers who feel called to do so," says Nadja Prasser, regional program manager.
Where interested parties can register
An audition workshop will therefore be held in Klagenfurt on November 5 and 7. Those interested will not only be trained as health clowns, but will also receive part-time employment.
"One of the association's aims is to become an integral part of the healthcare system. It is a secure and long-term job that makes sense and is also a lot of fun," says Nadja Prasser. Anyone interested can get in touch at jobs@rotenasen.at.
