MBO3 Support Worker Protected Living+

Do you want to work as a support worker in disability care with clients with a mild intellectual disability (MID), psychiatric issues, and a forensic background? In Poortugaal, you will help build a unique residential facility where support, treatment, and safety come together.

As an MBO level 3 support worker within Protected Living+, you support clients with complex care needs in their daily lives. You work from a recovery-oriented support approach and encourage residents to maintain as much control over their own lives as possible.

You offer support with daily activities, help clients deal with tension and behavioral challenges, and actively contribute to a safe living environment. Precisely at moments when situations become complicated, you are present as a stable and reliable support worker.

You work intensively with colleagues from disability care, mental health care (GGZ), and forensic care. Thanks to this multidisciplinary collaboration, you collectively provide the best possible support to the residents.

Additionally, you get the chance to help build a new form of living. Many processes and support methodologies are still very much in development. Therefore, we are looking for colleagues who show initiative, like to think along, and get energy from pioneering and innovating.
Together, you ensure a living environment in which clients can work on stability, recovery, and future prospects.

You work according to a rotating schedule with day, evening, night, and weekend shifts.

You are a healthcare professional who stands firmly in your shoes and maintains an overview when tension increases. You communicate clearly, act professionally, and know how to provide clients with structure and clarity.

You:

• have a completed MBO level 3 healthcare education, such as Verzorgende IG, Social Care (MZ), Pedagogical Worker, or Social Work;
• have an affinity with clients with a mild intellectual disability (MID), psychiatric issues, and complex care needs;
• are independent, decisive, and take responsibility;
• know how to de-escalate and can set boundaries where necessary;
• create calm, safety, and predictability for residents;
• enjoy working within a multidisciplinary team and think in a solution-oriented manner.
