Geriatric Caregiver (EVV)

As a Geriatric Caregiver, you will be of significance to our clients in Groenewoude in Woudenberg.

Behind every behavior, there is a story. But how do you discover that story when someone cannot always express what is on their mind? As a Geriatric Caregiver (EVV) at Charim, you look beyond the behavior you see. With your knowledge, attention, and curiosity, you help residents feel understood and safe. And at least as importantly: you involve your colleagues in this.

You are not only involved in daily care, but you also have an important role as a coach and go-to person within the team. You delve into the life history of residents, recognize signals, and search together with colleagues and loved ones for what someone truly needs. What works for one person may not be appropriate for another. It is precisely this search that makes your work valuable and varied.

You actively contribute during resident meetings, advise on appropriate care, and help colleagues to look differently at misunderstood behavior. With your knowledge and experience, you provide practical tools and provide clinical lessons where necessary. In this way, you contribute to a pleasant living environment for residents and to a team that continues to learn and grow together.

Groenewoude is a small and cozy house located on the edge of Woudenberg. In the courtyards of Rozenhof, Bloesemhof, and Dahlia, six clients with long-term care indications reside. Additionally, there are one- and two-person apartments for clients who require care. Residents from the neighborhood also enjoy coming to Groenewoude to participate in activities offered in De Serre. You fit with us if you truly see the client, ask questions, and listen with attention. Naturally, aligning and connecting with the habits of clients goes hand in hand with following systems and rules. For more information, visit: charim.nl/locaties/groenewoude

You do not see difficult behavior, but a human being trying to make something clear. You are curious, ask the right questions, and do not simply give up when a situation is complicated. With your patience, creativity, and empathy, you often know exactly how to make that difference.

You have a diploma in Healthcare Assistant IG (level 3), supplemented by the Specialized Geriatric Caregiver (GGV) training. You work independently, take initiative, and enjoy sharing your knowledge with others. Colleagues know how to find you for advice, and you enjoy helping them further. In doing so, you are clear when necessary, but always with attention to the other person.

At Charim, we believe that good care begins with real contact. You look at the person behind the care request and know how to involve others in this. In this way, you are of value to our residents, their loved ones, and your colleagues.
