The role

Bring color, structure, and joy to our residents' days

At Merenhoef, well-being is all about the small moments that make a day special. A group activity, a conversation at the coffee table, or rediscovering a favorite hobby. As a Day Activity Coach, you ensure that residents with dementia or somatic care needs can continue to participate in activities that suit them. You see the person behind the care needs and know how to make every day more meaningful.

What you'll do

As a Day Activity Coach, you ensure that residents have something to look forward to every day. You organize and facilitate activities that align with their wishes, abilities, and interests, and you know exactly how to encourage residents to participate actively in daily life within Merenhoef. At the same time, you keep an eye on their well-being and signal changes that you discuss with colleagues. You work closely with family members, volunteers, and care staff to provide residents with the support they need. With your enthusiasm, creativity, and sincere attention, you create a warm and safe environment in which residents feel seen, heard, and involved.

What makes working in this team attractive

You will join a dedicated well-being team consisting of day activity coaches and well-being staff. Together, you work daily to provide residents with a pleasant and meaningful day. There is plenty of room for your own ideas and creativity. Do you have a great initiative or an activity that residents can enjoy? Then you will be given the freedom to develop this. The atmosphere within the team is open, collegial, and focused on collaboration, with everyone sharing the same goal: increasing the well-being of our residents.
