Technical work through which you make a sustainable difference for people

A wheelchair, mobility scooter, or hoist means freedom and independence for many people. When such an aid returns to Kersten after use, your work begins.

As a Reuse Technician for Aids, you ensure that used aids can be deployed again safely and reliably for the next client. You inspect, repair, and test aids so they can be reused by someone who needs them.

At Kersten, we handle aids sustainably. We do not automatically reject something; aids and parts that still have value are given a second life wherever possible. At Kersten, we call this Maximum Circularity: a way of working in which we reuse as much as possible and waste as little as possible. We are leaders in this. Kersten is the first organization in the medical aids industry to be certified at level 4 of the Circular Performance Ladder. With your technical craftsmanship, you contribute directly to this every day.

You work with aids that are returned from aid users and must be made ready for reuse again. You assess, clean, inspect, repair, and make aids technically ready for reuse. Your duties include:

• Assessing aids upon arrival;
• Cleaning and disinfecting aids;
• Checking for wear, damage, safety, and functionality;
• Repairing defects and replacing parts;
• Checking electrical components such as batteries, chargers, motors, controllers, cabling, and lighting;
• Checking mechanical components such as brakes, tires, bearings, frames, fasteners, and adjustments;
• Technically adapting aids for the next user;
• Performing safety and final inspections;
• Recording performed work, parts used, and serial numbers;
• Reporting aids as ready for delivery.

Location: The Hague and Houten

Hours: 32-38h per week

Preparing aids for reuse is more than just fixing a defect. For every aid, you ask yourself three important questions:

• Is the aid technically safe?
• Is it technically and functionally suitable for reuse?
• Is it sensible to redeploy the aid?

Sometimes you repair an aid. Sometimes you replace parts preventatively, such as tires, brake parts, or other wear parts. And sometimes you conclude that an aid can no longer be deployed responsibly. Your technical insight makes the difference in that.

This is not a standard technician role. This is a special role for a technical man or woman who can make a difference in the field of sustainability through their craftsmanship. You have a direct influence on:

• The quality of our aids;
• The safety of clients;
• The ability to redeploy aids;
• Stock availability;
• The cost of aids;
• Client satisfaction;
• The reduction of waste.

Every day you see the result of your work: an aid that, thanks to your craftsmanship, is valuable to someone else again.

This position is part of Kersten's internal flexible workforce. This means that you perform your duties at both our location in The Hague and in Houten. You work where your efforts are most needed at that moment. Therefore, we preferably seek a candidate who lives in the region between both locations and enjoys having variety in work location.

You are technically handy, work accurately, and get energy from tinkering, solving, and improving. You find it important that an aid is delivered safely and correctly.

Experience with aids is a plus, but not a requirement. We are happy to teach you the finer points of the trade.

At Kersten, you get a technical position in which you see what your work means every day. You ensure that aids can be reused safely and that clients can be helped again quickly.

We offer you

• A varied technical position with social impact;
• Working at the leader in circular aid care;
• A position where technology, sustainability, and care come together;
• A dedicated team with enthusiastic colleagues;
• Room to further develop yourself;
