A care vacancy in which you combine on-the-floor guidance with coordination and care-content alignment.

As a disability care supervisor, you are responsible for the daily guidance and care at Oude Rijnlaan 17 and 19. You observe behavior, work with signaling plans, and adjust the daily program based on the buildup of tension and the support needs of residents.

Where necessary, you provide takeover ADL support and assist residents with daily care. You actively coordinate with colleagues regarding behavior, guidance, and specifics, and together you ensure a consistent approach.

When residents stay home from day activities, you provide guidance according to the work-home principle. You organize activities that align with the possibilities and interests of residents, such as walking, cycling, swimming, playing football, sensory activities, puzzling, household tasks, listening to music, a movie moment, or a Snoezelen activity.

This is a hands-on role. You are present on the work floor most of your time and, together with colleagues, you carry out the guidance and care. Additionally, you have an average of one office day per week for reporting, care-content alignment, coordination tasks, and the further development of the quality of care and guidance.
