Practical Trainer/Advisor

At Vreugdehof, we love to stimulate, motivate, and coach employees, pupils, students, and interns. Do you have creative and innovative ideas about training in healthcare? And do you get energy from coaching and developing a new generation of healthcare professionals? Then you are very welcome in a warm living and working environment where diversity is central.

Guiding and coaching about 80 BOL and BBL students is your primary task. Together with the care coaches, you are responsible for a strong and future-proof learning and working climate. While the practice advisor focuses on policy, processes, and structural frameworks, your focus lies on the clinical coaching, guidance, and inspiring of pupils, interns, and colleagues. You are visible on the work floor; you can be found here every day. There, you stimulate the learning culture and involve the teams in coaching the students. You demonstrate exemplary behavior, are accessible, and think in terms of possibilities. Working with cultural sensitivity, contributing to an inclusive and safe learning environment, and monitoring the quality of learning are important in this regard. You also have an affinity for healthcare technology and enjoy teaching students how to improve care with smart solutions.

As a practical trainer, you also have active contact with other practical instructors and the Learning & Development Advisor within Amstelring, as well as with schools and educational institutions in the region.

What else you do:

• Creating and monitoring internship plans

• Organizing introductory meetings and work supervisor consultations & training

• Coordinating various trainings (including P2M and BHV)

• Working with various digital systems (learning platforms, schedules, files)

What else you do:

As a practical trainer, you have a meaningful role in which you truly have an impact on future healthcare professionals. Within your role, there is plenty of room for your ideas to further strengthen the learning and working climate. We are curious about your vision! We also offer you various opportunities for schooling, growth, and professional development.

Nursing home and rehabilitation center Vreugdehof can be found on the edge of Amsterdam Buitenveldert. Drop in and taste the cozy, warm atmosphere! Here you will find residents, clients, and rehabilitation patients with dementia, a chronic physical illness, or a disability. About 160 colleagues work here and there are 9 care teams.

At Vreugdehof, there is a lot of social involvement and attention to what is happening in society. Additionally, we find diversity very important: everyone can be themselves at Vreugdehof; respect for one another and freedom are a matter of course. We are therefore the proud holder of the 'Roze Loper' certificate: the quality mark for nursing and care homes that pay attention to sexual diversity, among both clients and employees.

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

• 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

As an Amstelringer at Vreugdehof, you also benefit from:
