The role

Do you enjoy being on the road and making a difference to others? In the role of life supporter within our VPT team in Abcoude, you will visit clients at home daily and support them in maintaining their independence. You listen, help, and ensure a smile on someone's face. Thanks to your commitment, clients can continue living in the place where they feel most at home. At the same time, you work in a warm team where your efforts are appreciated and where there is room for you to further develop yourself.

Experience is not required: we ensure a good start with training, guidance, and plenty of development opportunities. The team consists of a mix of life supporters, Helpende Plus, and VIG professionals of various ages, who are always there for one another. Together, you provide varied support in the areas of well-being, care, nutrition, and household tasks. We are looking for a social colleague who is a good listener, enjoys collaborating, and has an eye for both the client and the team.

What you'll do

As a Life Supporter, you help people at home to maintain their independence and bring structure to their day. For example, you go grocery shopping together, take a walk, or help with planning activities. You also offer support with personal care, such as washing, dressing, using the toilet, and household tasks. Always with an emphasis on doing things together and what the client needs. You do this together with the caregiver(s) and a fixed team within which you can always rely on someone.

How you'll work

Shifts take place between 07:30 and 23:00. For this position, it is important that you are flexibly deployable for all shifts, including weekends and public holidays. Additionally, it is necessary that you possess your own car, because you will travel between different clients during your work and distances cannot always be easily covered by public transport.

What makes working in this team attractive

You work in the familiar home environment of the elderly, where you truly make a difference. Due to the variety in clients and care needs, no two days are the same. At the same time, you work independently, with the fine support of a dedicated neighborhood team.
