MBO3 Support Worker LVB

Do you want to guide (young) adults with a mild intellectual disability towards greater independence? At De Koploper in the heart of Gouda, you will work in an innovative living concept where clients live independently with support close by.

De Koploper is a modern VPT Housing project by Ipse de Bruggen in the center of Gouda. Here, clients live independently in their own apartment, with guidance and support within reach. Thanks to the central location, close to the station, shops, and catering, residents remain actively involved in society.

Our support revolves around autonomy, development, and participation. We support clients in their daily lives and encourage them to take steps that match their wishes and possibilities.

The support workers assist clients with independent living, tailored to their individual needs and wishes. The goal is to give the client control over their own life. Support workers are ready when needed but allow space for independence whenever possible.

The tasks are varied, from conducting conversations to understand needs to promoting self-reliance. Additionally, they help with building and maintaining social networks, as agreed upon in the care plan established together with the client and personal counselor.

The working hours are irregular: day, evening, weekend, and sleep shifts are worked.

• have completed a related education (healthcare, social work, or sports and movement) at a minimum of MBO3 level;
• have experience in supporting people with a mild intellectual disability;
• have knowledge of methodical guidance focused on client independence;
• are willing to work all shifts according to the schedule, including two weekends per month;
• have good communication skills for collaborating with stakeholders and representatives.
