Internship application in Disability Care

Looking for an educational internship in disability care for the 2026-2027 academic year? Submit your preferences and we will match you with a suitable placement!

Ipse de Bruggen is the largest care organization in South Holland for people with an intellectual disability. We specialize in complex care needs. At 370 care locations, with over 5,500 employees and 2,200 volunteers, we offer nearly 5,700 clients care and support in living, working, learning, and relaxing. Our mission is: ensuring that clients have a good life and can continue to develop. We believe that there is always more possible. No matter how small the step.

As an intern, you will be given the space and time to (learn to) guide, care for, and/or treat people with intellectual or multiple disabilities. You can gain practical experience for the wonderful profession you are currently studying for. And we get excited when you want to share your knowledge with us.

Many different internship placements are possible for MBO and HBO students within Health and Welfare. If you are following a training program to become a caregiver, you can guide clients in a group home, clients who are guided in living independently, or also within day and labor centers and treatment centers. The clients you will work with are just as diverse. From children to elderly, with different developmental levels, with multiple disabilities, and also clients with additional issues. This makes an internship at Ipse de Bruggen so special. Depending on the course you follow, your development, and the academic year, you will receive more responsibility.

You are following a healthcare-related course at MBO or HBO level, such as VIG, MZ, or Social Work

It mostly concerns a position of 16 to 32 hours per week.

In addition to the fact that you will be allowed and able to learn a lot with us:

• you will receive guidance from inspiring colleagues
• you will receive an internship allowance in accordance with the CAO Disability Care
• you will be covered under the professional liability insurance of Ipse de Bruggen

Once we have received your application, we will look at which internship placement is most suitable for the course you are following. But of course, we also take your place of residence and your preferences into account. Because we have so many different locations and target groups, multiple internships during your studies with us are certainly also possible.

Because you often work with vulnerable clients at Ipse de Bruggen, 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.
