Are you a Disability Care Support Worker, Psychiatry Support Worker mbo3 / mbo4, or Personal Caregiver who stands firm in your shoes and brings calm to complex situations? At Rijksstraatweg 5C, you will support clients with a mild intellectual disability (MID) and psychiatric issues, where your presence makes a difference every single day.

As a psychiatry support worker, you work closely with clients, colleagues, and other involved professionals. You observe behavior, recognize signals of rising tension, and take timely action to prevent escalations. By providing clarity, structure, and predictability, you support clients in their daily functioning.

You support clients with activities of daily living (ADL). This can consist of directing, reminding, stimulating, or, where necessary, taking over certain actions. In doing so, you maintain a continuous overview and ensure a safe, stable environment.

In this role, you constantly move between proximity and professional distance. You sense well when a client needs support and when more independence is appropriate. In stressful situations, challenging behavior may occur, such as kicking, hitting, biting, or self-mutilation. You remain calm, act professionally, and actively contribute to the safety of both clients and colleagues.

Additionally, you work according to agreed support methodologies and support plans. You coordinate regularly with colleagues, share observations, and make a valuable contribution to a team that continues to develop. Together, you work on high-quality care within disability care.
