Sport & Movement Towards Disability Care Support Worker

Do you provide movement and balance? Will you go for a bike ride, a walk, or just relax on the couch with us after a busy day? Will you help us not only with burning off energy, but also with getting up, washing, and getting dressed? And will you provide clarity and coziness in the home? Then we are looking for you as our new support worker!

We are clients of Ipse de Bruggen, a care organization for people with a (mild to severe) intellectual disability. We live in a place where we receive guidance that suits us. We love moving, being outdoors, cooking, or just playing a game.

Sometimes we find it difficult to express our feelings or to deal with stimuli. This can manifest in behavior that is difficult to understand, especially when we feel overwhelmed. We are therefore looking for support workers who truly want to get to know us, who offer structure and safety, and who stay, even when things get difficult.

As a support worker, you are a familiar face to us. You help us throughout the day: with getting up, providing structure, planning activities, and ensuring relaxation. You understand when we should be active and when it is time to rest for a moment.

You support us with practical matters, but also with dealing with emotions and developing skills. You work closely with colleagues, family, and therapists to coordinate our care as well as possible. Our clients live in locations where 24-hour care is provided. Therefore, you will work in rotating shifts (morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend), but night shifts are handled by a fixed night shift team.

• You have an mbo diploma in Sport & Movement at mbo3 or mbo4 level.
• You are able to provide calm, structure, and safety.
• You enjoy being active with our clients and also understand when it is time for relaxation.
• You can collaborate well, but also make decisions independently.
• You are resilient, involved, and have a big heart for care.

• A gross monthly salary of € 2,384 - € 3,980 based on 36 hours, according to the CAO Disability Care
• A permanent appointment immediately, with contract hours in consultation (1-36 hours per week)
• 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.

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.
