ID Support Worker - Complex Care

You are needed. To understand behavior, set boundaries, and build trust.

At Ipse de Bruggen in Nieuwveen, people with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities (ID/MID) live. Every client has their own story, personality, and support needs. Sometimes, in addition to the intellectual disability, there is difficult-to-understand behavior (DUB) or other complex issues.

As a support worker, you look beyond what someone shows. You try to understand what behavior is communicating and discover what someone needs. You offer structure, clarity, and trust, and you encourage clients to do as much as possible themselves.

The work is varied and can be challenging. An unexpected change can cause tension, and verbal or physical aggressive behavior may occur. You learn to recognize signals, remain calm, and work together with colleagues to find an appropriate approach. It is precisely by getting to know someone better and better that you discover what works.

Within Nieuwveen, there are various homes and client groups, each with its own dynamics and support needs. Perhaps your strength lies in providing structure, dealing with complex behavior, or specifically in stimulating independence. During the application procedure, we will look together at which home and client group best align with your experience, qualities, and interests.

You are involved, clear, and stand firm in your shoes. You can switch well between different situations and remain calm when things get tense. You look critically at your own actions and find it important to offer the best possible guidance together with colleagues.

Furthermore:

• Do you have a relevant healthcare education at mbo or hbo level,
• Can you observe well and recognize signals of tension.
• Do you dare to set boundaries and can you deal with unexpected situations.
• Are you reflective and do you like to work together.

Your experience can also align well from another sector. Think of mental healthcare (GGZ), youth care, addiction care, forensic care, or sheltered housing. Do you work as a pedagogical employee, personal support worker, or group leader and are you ready for a new challenge? Then we would love to talk to you.

Due to the intensive support, the gross monthly salary is one scale higher than the standard.
The salaries depend on your education and position:

• mbo3: FWG 40 | € 2,951 to € 3,980 gross per month
• mbo4: FWG 45 | € 3,113 to € 4,347 gross per month
• hbo: FWG 50 | € 3,362 to € 4,799 gross per month

In addition, you receive:

• A permanent contract immediately, with contract hours in consultation between 8 and 36 hours per week
• 8% holiday allowance and an end-of-year bonus of 8.33%
• Pension accrual via Pensioenfonds Zorg & Welzijn
• 144 vacation hours and 57 balance leave hours per year with full-time employment
• Travel allowance
• Tax benefit of up to € 750 per year, for example for a bicycle, phone, laptop, or sports subscription

At Ipse de Bruggen, you often work with vulnerable clients and therefore we are very careful in our selection policy. The application for a Certificate of Conduct (VOG), checking references, and requesting information from the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate are part of the selection procedure for that reason.
