The role

Do you want to work as a forensic counselor (HBO level) in a challenging environment where you contribute daily to recovery, treatment, and future prospects? In this versatile role within forensic care, you support clients with complex psychological and social issues in regaining control over their lives.

What you'll do

As a forensic counselor (HBO level), you play a central role within the treatment process of clients with complex care needs. You support them with daily themes such as housing, work, social relationships, and leisure time. In doing so, you combine various roles: counselor, coach, trainer, and healthcare professional.

You work closely with the lead practitioner and multidisciplinary colleagues to help clients grow in independence and self-reliance. Through guidance, observation, and training, you help clients develop skills that allow them to gain more grip on their lives.

Within the treatment center, you will encounter diverse and sometimes complex situations. You are able to switch gears quickly when safety or treatment requires it. At the same time, you actively contribute to a positive treatment climate in which development is central.

As a Counselor E, you also take on a broader role within the team. You contribute ideas regarding the quality of care, support colleagues with substantive issues, and contribute to the further development of treatment methods. In this way, you are significant not only to clients but also to the professionalization of the team.

About Ipse de Bruggen

Industry: Social Care

In their own words

About the company & team

We are clients of Behandelcentrum De Middenweg in Poortugaal. Our stay within forensic care is temporary and focused on recovery, development, and a safe return to society. Many of us deal with psychological vulnerability, trauma, depression, or other psychiatric issues. Additionally, we have often come into contact with the police or justice system, making specialist guidance and treatment necessary.

During our treatment process, we work together toward a stable future. The goal is to return to our original living environment within a maximum of one year or, when that is not possible, to build a new suitable living, working, and lifestyle situation.

To achieve this, we need professionals who can offer trust, dare to set boundaries, and work together with us on the next step. Are you the one who maintains calm during difficult moments, stimulates progress, and celebrates successes with us?

Additional information

At Ipse de Bruggen, you will often work with vulnerable clients. Therefore, we are very careful in our selection policy. For this reason, the application for a Certificate of Conduct (VOG), checking references, and requesting information from the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate are part of the selection procedure.
