Care Assistant Elderly Care to Trainee Support Worker Disability Care in the Netherlands

Do you work as a caregiver in elderly care and notice that you would like to have more time for the people you support? In disability care, you get that space. You build a bond with regular clients, work together on small but meaningful goals, and see development up close. The care is often less medically focused, while you can invest even more in personal contact. That makes the work as a support worker different AND extra valuable for many healthcare professionals.

Ipse de Bruggen is the largest care organization in Zuid-Holland for people with an intellectual disability. We believe that everyone can develop, no matter how small the step. That is why we offer an environment in which clarity, safety, and fun are central.
Together with clients, we undertake all kinds of activities: from cooking and walking to relaxing or learning something new. Together with you, we look at which location and target group best align with your experience, interests, and qualities.

As a caregiver, you commit yourself to others every single day. In disability care, you do that with more attention, more continuity, and more space to truly build something with clients.
You provide support with daily activities such as eating, personal care, household tasks, and leisure activities. In addition, you offer structure, clarity, and a pleasant living environment. Because you often work with the same clients, you get to know each other well and can take steps forward together. You work during the day, in the evening, and/or on the weekend.

You are caring, patient, and derive energy from working with people. With your experience as a caregiver, you know what good care means, but you are also ready for a next step in which you can do more for clients.
You are open to learning, would like to obtain an mbo 3 or mbo 4 diploma, and can work both independently and in a team. Above all, you have an affinity for people with a disability and contribute to an environment in which they feel seen and valued.
