Trainee Healthcare Assistant (BBL track) in elderly care in the Netherlands

In 2 years, or in 1.5 years if you already have a helpende (plus) diploma, you will be trained to become a healthcare assistant (IG) in (elderly) care. As a healthcare assistant, you guide and support residents with their daily care. You will work on either a somatic or a dementia (PG) ward. The further you progress in your training, the greater your responsibilities will become; of course, there are always colleagues you can consult and who will support you. After all, you provide care together. Together with your colleagues, you ensure that residents receive the attention and care they deserve. You support daily care, ensure people take their medication, and perform nursing technical procedures when necessary. Communication and consultation are also part of the job, which you do with colleagues from, among others, physiotherapy, dietetics, and occupational therapy.

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

On-site, you will start working in one of the care teams. You will work day and evening shifts 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.

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

• Salary according to the CAO VVT: the aforementioned salary is based on full-time (36 hours) and is dependent 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 gym membership, day trips, concerts, and (theater) performances
• For young Amstelringers, there is Jong Amstelring: a friendly group of colleagues who regularly meet 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 social hexathlon: together we compete against the colleagues from Rozenholm (Aalsmeer)

A specific prior education is not required, but you do need a high school diploma and must be at least 17 years old. What we find important is that you enjoy working with the elderly and that you can read and write well in Dutch. Are you a career changer? You are very welcome even then!

A paid healthcare training with a salary: something for you? Then we would love to hear from you!
