Disability Care Assistant Mbo4

You are needed to bring calm when tension rises. At Oude Rijnlaan 17 and 19 in Zwammerdam, you support clients with intensive care needs by providing structure, proximity, and ADL support. Do you recognize signals before words are needed? Then this position as a disability care assistant is for you.

We live at Oude Rijnlaan 17 and 19 in Zwammerdam. Together, we are a group of 15 men and 1 woman between the ages of 20 and 50. For us, it is not always obvious to make it clear what we need. Sometimes we use words, but more often we show this through sounds, facial expressions, and small signals.

We have a moderate to severe intellectual disability. We require full support with ADL and are mobile. Additionally, other factors are often present, such as autism, attachment issues, or psychiatric vulnerability. Because of this, tension can build up and manifest in behaviors such as screaming, hitting, kicking, or biting. Not because we want to, but because we cannot express ourselves any other way at that moment.

Precisely at those moments, we need a disability care assistant who remains calm, maintains an overview, and helps us let the tension subside again. Structure, clarity, and proximity help us to get through the day well. As you get to know us, you will recognize our signals and know what we need.

The residences work closely together, allowing you to coordinate with colleagues at all times and support one another. Together, you ensure that we feel safe and that our day proceeds as stably as possible.

As a disability care assistant, you support clients throughout the day with their daily care and ADL support. You provide structure, clarity, and guidance that aligns with what the client needs at that moment.

You constantly observe signals of tension and changes in behavior. By knowing the clients well, you recognize early on when tension is rising and respond to this immediately. In doing so, you help prevent escalations as much as possible.

Within this role, you work intensively with colleagues from your residence and the neighboring residence. You coordinate, support each other where necessary, and together ensure a safe and predictable environment for the clients.

Do you enjoy working in disability care with a target group that requires proximity, observational skills, and decisive action? Then this position as a disability care assistant offers a great challenge within the care sector.
