Intramural Casemanager | De Viking

After a often turbulent period, you provide people with dementia a soft landing in a new home. Moving to a residential location is more than just a change of address. That is why we are building a new place where familiar faces, habits, and one's own life story are central. As a casemanager, you get the unique opportunity to help shape a new intramural role from the very start. You will help build a way of working in which residents, loved ones, colleagues, volunteers, and the neighborhood work closely together. As a connector, you ensure that De Viking feels like a new home from day one.

De Viking is becoming a home for elderly people with dementia where living and life are central. Residents live here in their own rhythm as much as possible, with space for their own wishes and habits. The resident's life story is always the starting point. We provide support where necessary, but we do not take over what residents and their network can do themselves.

You help residents to continue living in their own way for as long as possible. You do this by first looking at what someone can still do themselves, then at the role of loved ones and volunteers, and only afterwards at the professional support that is required.

As a casemanager, you are the point of contact for residents and their loved ones. You truly get to know people and maintain an overview.

These are your duties

• You guide residents and loved ones through the changes and choices that come with living with dementia.
• Together with residents and their loved ones, you draw up the care plan, monitor its implementation, and ensure good cooperation between loved ones, volunteers, practitioners, and other involved parties.
• You identify bottlenecks in well-being, housing, and care, call in the right expertise where necessary, and contribute to appropriate solutions.
• You coach and inspire colleagues to apply the vision in daily practice and contribute to their professional development.
• Together with the team leader and the KVP, you monitor the quality of well-being, housing, and care and participate in relevant local networks and partnerships.

• You have a HBO diploma in Nursing or Social Work and experience with dementia care and complex care situations. A post-HBO education in Casemanagement and/or experience as a casemanager is a plus.
• You know how to connect people with different interests. You see and hear them and instill confidence.
• You dare to take initiative, maintain an overview, and take control when situations become complicated.
• You believe that care and support adapt to the life of the resident, and not the other way around.
• You are curious, creative, and think in terms of possibilities when existing solutions are not appropriate.
• You have courage and dare to do things differently if the situation calls for it.
