Apprentice caregiver (plus) elderly care (BBL track) in the Netherlands

We pay for your training AND you receive your salary immediately: a good deal, right? In September 2026, the BBL training for helpende (plus) begins, so you can work and learn at the same time. So, do you have a heart for the elderly and want to turn that into a career? Then read on quickly and apply!

In 1 year, you will be trained to become a caregiver in (elderly) care. If you want to continue for the "plus" part, that is possible with a 10-week follow-up course. As a caregiver (plus), you guide and support residents with their daily care. Together with your colleagues, you ensure that residents receive the attention and care they deserve. You provide support with daily personal care. Once you have obtained your caregiver diploma, you can progress to "plus" and will be authorized to administer medication and perform light medical procedures. Communication and consultation are also part of the role, which you do with colleagues such as physiotherapy, dietitians, and occupational therapists.

During your training, you will go to Nova College in Hoofddorp 1 day per week and work 3 days per week. What you learn at school, you can therefore apply directly in practice.

On-site, you will start working in one of the care teams. You will work day and evening shifts here and will be scheduled every other weekend. After obtaining your diploma, you can continue working at Amstelring. We will then look together at which location and department suit you best. From that point on, there are plenty of opportunities to grow within the organization.

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 complaining! 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 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.

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

• Salary according to the CAO VVT: the above-mentioned salary is based on full-time (36 hours) and depends on diploma and experience.

• On top of your salary: 8% holiday allowance, 8.33% end-of-year bonus, and a bonus for referring new colleagues

• Pension accrual via Amstelring at Pensioenfonds Zorg & Welzijn

• Discounts on, among other things, a new bicycle, your sports subscription, day trips, concerts, and (theater) performances

• For young Amstelringers, there is Jong Amstelring: a convivial group of colleagues who regularly meet up for professional, sporting, and social activities

As an Amstelringer at Het Hoge Heem, you also benefit from:

• Good accessibility via public transport

• Free parking

• Our annual sporty and sociable six-event competition: together we compete against the colleagues from Rozenholm (Aalsmeer)

• Free parking

No specific prior education is required, but you do need a high school diploma and must be at least 17 years old. The most important thing is that you have an affinity for the elderly and that you have a good command of the Dutch language, both spoken and written. Even as a career changer, you are very welcome!
