Caregiver / Support Worker Elderly Care | Disability Care

You see the person behind the care needs. A resident who needs full assistance with daily care. A resident who needs more structure due to dementia. Or someone who shows tension in their behavior because words are becoming increasingly difficult. At this special location in the heart of Delft, you provide elderly people with an intellectual disability the peace, attention, and care they need. Work in which your involvement makes a visible difference every day.

We are elderly people between the ages of 60 and 98 with an intellectual and/or physical disability. As we get older, our care needs often increase. Some residents need support with daily tasks, while others are largely dependent on guidance and care. Age-related issues also occur, such as dementia, physical decline, or changes in behavior.

For us, a nice day often lies in the small things. A familiar face, a quiet conversation, drinking a cup of coffee together, or receiving support in a way that suits us. That is why we are looking for support workers who look beyond the care needs and have an eye for who we are as human beings.

As a Support Worker for Elderly Disability Care, you play an important role in the daily lives of residents. You provide support with personal care, offer guidance where necessary, and ensure that residents feel safe, comfortable, and seen.

Many residents need increasing amounts of support due to aging. From help with washing, dressing, and eating to guidance with mobility and daily activities. At the same time, you signal changes in health, well-being, or behavior and discuss these with colleagues.

Sometimes behavior arises from restlessness, pain, dementia, or misunderstood needs. You look beyond what you see and search for what a resident needs to feel comfortable. Thanks to your calmness, attention, and empathy, you know how to build trust and contribute to a stable living environment.

Thanks to the varied care and support needs, no two workdays are the same.

Ideally, you have an mbo2 or mbo3 diploma in healthcare or a similar field, such as Helpende, Social Care, or Verzorgende IG. Do you have a different education or experience that aligns well with the position? Even then, we would like to look at the possibilities together.

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