Caregiver Transitioning to Disability Care Support Worker in Training

Have you been caring for someone else as a caregiver for years? Then you possess valuable experience that fits well within disability care. Turn your commitment into a profession and grow through a training program into a support worker. You are needed to support, guide, and provide confidence to people with intellectual disabilities on a daily basis.

As a caregiver, you know how important attention, patience, and trust are. That experience forms a valuable foundation for a job as a support worker in disability care.

You support people with intellectual disabilities in their daily lives, personal care, and development. You provide structure, stimulate independence, and help clients to maintain as much control over their own lives as possible.

Together with colleagues, you create a safe and pleasant living environment in which clients feel seen, heard, and valued. No two days are the same, and that is exactly what makes the work varied and meaningful.

You are needed to offer clients peace, trust, and stability. With your commitment, you make a difference every day.

You know how important it is to be there for someone else. You are patient, involved, and think in terms of possibilities. Additionally:

• you have an affinity with people with an intellectual disability;
• you have at least an mbo2 or higher completed education;
• you are open to following a training program.

With your experience as a caregiver, you have already developed many skills that are of great value within disability care. We will help you further build upon these qualities into a beautiful career as a support worker.

Within this traineeship, you grow step by step into the position of support worker in disability care. You combine working and learning, so that you gain practical experience immediately and develop yourself into a care professional.

The training courses are mostly provided at Landgoed Ursula in Nieuwveen. Depending on the training offer, you can choose for:

• MBO3 Social Care Assistant;
• MBO3 Caregiver IG;
• MBO4 Personal Assistant for Specific Target Groups;

With a fully funded education, professional guidance, and an educational workplace, you lay a strong foundation for a future in disability care. Your commitment makes a daily difference for people with an intellectual disability.
