MBO4 Support Worker in the Netherlands

Do you want to support people with severe intellectual disabilities AND grow into a work-study mentor? In this position, you combine direct client support with supporting colleagues in their development. You will work in a dedicated team where tranquility, attention, and personal growth are central.

We offer care and guidance to clients with a severe intellectual disability (SID). Our clients often communicate subtly, for example through facial expressions, sounds, or changes in behavior. Therefore, we look beyond words alone.

At our location, everything revolves around structure, safety, and a meaningful daily routine. Together, we ensure appropriate guidance, activities, and daily support. In doing so, we always see the person behind the behavior.

As an mbo4 support worker, you support clients with SID in their daily lives. You assist with personal care, accompany clients to day activities, and organize activities that align with their needs and abilities.

You observe signs of tension, investigate their source, and translate this into appropriate guidance. Through your attention and calmness, clients experience more relaxation and predictability throughout the day. Additionally, you work closely with relatives, colleagues, and other involved disciplines. As a personal support worker, you draw up care plans, keep them up to date, and monitor the progress of the guidance.

Do you have the ambition to become a work-study mentor? Then you will get the chance to guide students and interns during their learning process, support colleagues in their development, and actively contribute ideas regarding learning on the job.

For this position of mbo4 support worker:

• Relevant mbo level 4 diploma;
• Experience or interest in supporting clients with SID;
• Able to draw up and evaluate care plans;
• Work-study mentor or the ambition to fulfill this role;
• Willing to coach colleagues and provide feedback.

• A gross monthly salary of € 2,951 - € 3,980 based on 36 hours, according to the CAO Disabled Care (FWG 40)
• Contract terms in consultation; hours will also be determined if you wish to become a work-study mentor
• Ample opportunities for training and development
• Year-end bonus of 8.33%, 8% holiday allowance, and pension via Pensioenfonds Zorg & Welzijn
• 144 vacation hours and 57 balance leave hours per year based on a 36-hour work week
• Travel allowance
• Tax benefit of up to € 750 per year, for example for a bicycle, phone, laptop, or sports subscription

Because you often work with vulnerable clients at Ipse de Bruggen, 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, for that reason, part of the selection procedure.
