Disability Care Support Worker (MBO4/HBO) ID (Severe Intellectual Disability)

Do you see what someone needs, even when it is not expressed in words? We would love to meet you!

We are clients with a severe intellectual disability (ID) and psychiatric backgrounds. We experience the world in our own way and often make it clearly known what we like, what gives us energy, and with whom we feel comfortable.

Walking together, cycling, listening to music, doing groceries, or enjoying a sensory activity: the small, normal things often make the difference for us. As a support worker, you are closely involved in our day and build a bond based on trust, recognition, and safety.

At the same time, this target group requires attention and craftsmanship. Not everyone can indicate what he or she needs with words. Because of this, tension sometimes manifests in behavior that can be difficult to understand. That is precisely where the challenge lies: together with your colleagues, you investigate what someone is trying to communicate and what helps to create peace, clarity, and trust again.

Sometimes success lies in something small: a client who relaxes, takes initiative, or visibly enjoys an activity. It is precisely those moments that make the work valuable.

As a support worker, you support clients with a severe intellectual disability in their daily lives. You provide guidance, support with ADL (Activities of Daily Living) moments, and, together with your colleagues, ensure a safe, predictable, and pleasant environment.

What makes this target group special is that not everything is said with words. You get to know clients well, recognize signals, and search for what someone needs. Sometimes that is immediately clear; sometimes it requires puzzling, observing, and experimenting together.

Within this target group, tension can manifest in complex behavior. That is precisely what makes the work interesting. Together with colleagues, behavioral experts, and relatives, you investigate what lies behind the behavior and which guidance works best. No standard solutions, but searching together for what fits the client.

Whether you already have experience within disability care or want to further develop yourself within the ID target group, you will find the space here to learn, ask questions, and continuously build up expertise.
