Sometimes insecurity completely turns lives upside down, precisely in the place where someone should feel safe. In those moments, it is important that there is someone by their side who maintains an overview and helps to regain control step by step. Are you someone who does not shrink from complex situations, but rather gains energy from restoring safety within families? Are you not a standard support worker, but a director, a connector, and a go-getter? Then read on quickly!

As an ambulant support worker, you step right into the middle of situations where tension, uncertainty, and sometimes danger converge. No two days are the same: today you are sitting at the table with parents and their children, and tomorrow you are working together with chain partners on acute safety. You are the one who brings overview, makes choices, and determines the course.

The GIA team is part of the social domain within Emergis and offers specialist care to adults and children who are victims of violence in situations of dependency, such as domestic violence. Often there is multi-complex problematic, meaning that support is sometimes continued even after the crisis phase. The goal is to restore safety for all those involved, with sustainable safety as the starting point: the violence must stop so that clients can regain control of their situation, whereby safety is secured by providing tools to handle situations differently in the future. The team works in a trauma-sensitive and strength-based manner based on three pillars: hope, self-regulation, and citizenship, with the goal of a life without violence.

The team consists of a manager, a team leader, and ten employees. The home base is Middelburg, but work is carried out throughout Zeeland, both ambulantly and through outreach. There is close cooperation with the social judicial services team (MJD) and with partners in the chain approach to domestic violence and child abuse. They implement the case management for Centrum Seksueel Geweld Zeeland (CSG Zeeland), case management MDA++, AWARE, and Intensive Case Management for High-Risk Cases in Zeeland, as well as guidance provided through WMO funding.

Your role consists of:

• Directing & coordinating: You independently and systematically shape complex support trajectories, performing case management and coordinating appropriate assistance in collaboration with chain partners. In doing so, you direct the cooperation between these parties: support services, police, justice, and the client's network.
• System-oriented support: You offer specialized, client-oriented support in coordination with chain partners, with the aim of breaking patterns of violence and increasing safety, whereby you continuously monitor the balance between care and safety and between trust and intervention, and remain involved with families, even in complex situations.
• Analyzing & risk management: You analyze problems and the underlying causes of insecurity, signal acute risks, and take appropriate actions where necessary to ensure safety. You perform sharp risk assessments within complex family situations.
• On-call services: You participate in the on-call services of the Centrum Seksueel Geweld (CSG) Zeeland.
