Support Worker ID (Intellectual Disability) Psychiatry HBO

Within this role, you work at the intersection of disability care and psychiatry. The diverse support needs require professional insight, methodical working, and the ability to analyze behavior instead of only reacting to it.

You offer not only treatment or symptom reduction, but work on the daily lives of clients: living, independence, daily activities, and social contacts. That makes working in disability care broad and impactful.

• Make professional assessments when the situation requires it
• Work together with colleagues on professionalization in dealing with psychiatric issues within ID
• Contribute to a consistent approach.

Are you an HBO-educated support worker looking for professional depth? Are you looking for a job in which you build intensive relationships, take professional direction, and lift your team to a higher level? Within Ipse de Bruggen, you are needed.

We are (young) adults with a mild intellectual disability (ID). Additionally, we deal with multi-complex psychiatric issues such as psychosis, depression, or borderline issues, or dual diagnoses. We receive guidance and/or treatment.

We are verbally strong and know well what we want. Sometimes we show behavior that is complicated. Therefore, we are looking for a disability care support worker who sees us as humans, and our behavior as a request for help.

We need someone who provides direction together with us. Someone who is clear, dares to make choices, and maintains an overview. Someone who stands beside us, even when things get tense.

• You keep your head cool in complex situations and dare to make choices.
• You see the client instead of the behavior.
• You communicate and coordinate well with colleagues.
• You can switch gears quickly depending on the resident's needs and actively contribute to improving the quality of care.

As an HBO professional, do you want to make a conscious choice to work in disability care, where you advance both clients and colleagues? Then this vacancy suits you.
