Disability Care Assistant (MBO 3) - Complex Behavior

Are you looking for a team that will go through fire for one another? At Oude Rijnlaan 6-8, you will work together with experienced colleagues you can rely on. Together, you create calm, structure, and trust for clients with intensive support needs. Here, you know where you stand: an agreement is an agreement.

At Oude Rijnlaan 6-8, 15 clients with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities and intensive support needs live. Psychiatric issues often play an important role here. Within two small-scale groups, we work daily on calm, structure, and trust.

Our clients are verbally skilled and strongly focused on the relationship with their assistants. They have a need for clear agreements, predictability, and assistants who are consistent and reliable. Although many clients have a high degree of independence, support is needed with ADL, maintaining overview, and dealing with tension.

This requires professionals who stand firm in their shoes, remain calm under pressure, and know how to combine safety with proximity. Together with your colleagues, you create an environment in which both clients and assistants can rely on one another.

At Oude Rijnlaan 6-8, you will join a large and stable team of experienced colleagues. Many employees have been working together here for years. We know each other's qualities, are clear with one another, and are ready to support each other. We find reliability important: what we agree upon, we make happen. For clients and for colleagues.

No two days are the same. You support clients in living and residing as they wish. You cook together, help with household tasks, guide work-at-home day activities from the residence, and accompany them to activities or appointments with (para)medical practitioners.

With your calm, clarity, and predictability, you offer clients a sense of stability. You maintain an overview, provide clear guidance, and know how to maintain calm even in challenging situations. Together with your colleagues, you ensure a safe, stable, and positive living environment in which clients can develop and participate in their own way.
