At Vreugdehof, well-being is not an 'extra'; well-being is central to our home. We believe in meaningful daytime experiences from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Older adults flourish with us because we look at what makes their day beautiful. Do you create both deliciously fresh meals in the kitchen and a cozy atmosphere (at the table and) during mealtimes? Then we are looking for you!

As a culinary connector, you will prepare a fresh evening meal for residents with dementia on our PG department. You will do this in a homely care department, where we find healthy nutrition and a warm, domestic environment very important. You are someone who loves conviviality and creates a good atmosphere in a creative way. Together with the residents, you will devise a weekly menu and you will take on all necessary tasks from A to Z, such as placing orders and other preparations.

You love cooking and preparing tasty things, and you involve the residents in the cooking process as much as possible. For the residents, you are the familiar face for the fresh evening meal, providing them with stability and recognition.

During your work, you pay attention to any specific details regarding the residents, which you pass on to your care colleagues during the handover. To compose the menu, you work together with, among others, speech therapists and dietitians.

You work a maximum of 3 days per week, from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. You also work on weekends; this schedule is determined in consultation with the team. Together with colleagues in the department, you create the roster.

Working at Amstelring means good employment conditions and great extras. What you will receive includes:

As an Amstelringer at Vreugdehof, you also benefit from:

A care diploma is not required, although it is nice if you have worked with people with dementia or Alzheimer's before. You love cooking immensely and everything that goes along with it, such as chopping ingredients together, setting the tables, and having a pleasant chat during cooking. You take initiative in this and come up with creative ideas to optimize the atmosphere during mealtime. It is important that you are patient, kind, and caring. And also that you speak and write good Dutch, in order to be able to communicate with colleagues and residents.

Experience in a similar position is a plus. Additionally, it is also important that you are digitally proficient.
