Disability Care Support Worker (ID/LD)

Are you that dedicated disability care support worker who will complete our team at the Antares 2-4 residence? Do you love rolling up your sleeves without losing your sense of humor? Do you communicate clearly and pleasantly, do you have an eye for the people around you, and do you enjoy thinking in solutions? Then we would love to meet you. Together, we will continue to build a wonderful place for both clients and colleagues.

Antares 2-4 is a warm, cozy home located in the middle of a quiet residential area in Waddinxveen. This semi-detached house consists of two parts. It is the home of a total of 18 residents with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities, with ages ranging from 21 to 54.

At Antares 2, younger residents (between 24 and 38 years old) with a mild to moderate intellectual disability live. No two days are the same here. The dynamics are different, stimulating, and full of variety—your creativity, humor, and empathy will truly shine here. You help residents shape their lives, support their independence and daily activities, and provide structure where necessary. At Antares 4, there is a calm, homely atmosphere. What makes this residence special is the close bond between the residents and with their families. They share joys and sorrows with one another and are part of daily life—whether through day activities or social events.

Sociability, structure, and personal attention are central. Some residents have Down syndrome, while others live with autism. Each and every one of them has a need for warm and clear guidance—and that is exactly where you can truly make a difference. You will find that you quickly feel at home here. Working at Antares 2-4 means working in a place where attention and involvement are central, where residents and colleagues truly see each other, and where you can contribute to a meaningful daily life.

As a disability care support worker, you look beyond the care requirements alone. You have an eye for who the client is, what motivates them, and what support is needed to take steps in their development. You know how to connect with the client's world of experience and create an environment with room for fun, challenge, and growth.

No two days are the same. You organize activities, stimulate clients to gain new experiences, and encourage them to push their boundaries. With your energy and enthusiastic attitude, you know how to inspire both clients and colleagues. You contribute to a positive atmosphere in which possibilities are central and everyone feels seen.
