Care Assistant Plus in the Netherlands

As a helpende plus, you are truly there for the residents with dementia. You regularly ask how someone is feeling, listen to what they want to say, and show interest in their personal story. Together with the residents, you determine what the day looks like and focus on what is still possible. Do you want to commit yourself to the well-being of the residents?

At Amstelring, we stimulate the personal strength and self-reliance of residents as much as possible. So that people maintain their dignity and experience more quality of life. We therefore focus more on well-being, and as a care assistant, you will also contribute to this. You are truly there for the residents: you regularly ask how someone is feeling, listen to what someone wants, and take an interest in someone's personal story.

As a helpende plus, you focus on care and well-being. You are there for the residents with dementia and focus on ADL care (washing, dressing, eating, and drinking), but you also prepare meals, assist colleagues with nursing technical procedures, and carry out activities with residents.

Together with the residents and your colleagues, you determine what the day looks like. In doing so, you think in terms of possibilities: what else can be done? And because you know the residents well, physical or psychological changes catch your attention immediately.

You work day and evening shifts, from 7:15 AM to 3:15 PM or from 2:45 PM to 10:45 PM.

Additionally, at [locatie], we have an open-door policy, which gives residents a lot of freedom. Every resident has their own room with a bathroom and a small kitchenette, and there is a low-stimulus, communal living room.

In your work as a helpende plus, just like every colleague, you have a field of focus, such as hygiene or medication. You may indicate what you find interesting in this regard. You also get the chance to continuously develop yourself, both within your role and beyond. For example, you can broaden your knowledge through training such as 'Dealing with aggression', 'Dealing with dementia', or the 'Bystander' training. Or you can grow further by following a training program to become a verzorgende IG.

At residential care center Het Hoge Heem, togetherness, security, and a good atmosphere are central. Because of this, there are 150 volunteers for 140 residents. Additionally, there is a certain down-to-earthness, characteristic of the region of farmers and growers. Roll up your sleeves, no fuss! Het Hoge Heem has care apartments and group homes for people with dementia. Together with all colleagues, we are always working on making the lives of the residents as pleasant as possible.

Giving attention and being involved—that is what we find important at Het Hoge Heem. You are allowed to be who you are here. We are therefore also the proud holders of the 'Roze Loper'. This is the quality mark for nursing homes that pay attention to sexual diversity, both for clients and employees.

In addition to the residents, you will also see many local residents at Het Hoge Heem, for example when they come to eat in our cozy restaurant.
