• A salary according to FWG 25 or 30 (CAO VVT) depending on your diploma and experience
• And the prospect of permanent employment; after a one-year contract, we would like to discuss the possibilities for an indefinite period
• Plenty of room to develop yourself via our Development Square, with a wide range of education, training, and courses
• In addition, you benefit from a flexible benefits system, so you can tailor your employment conditions to what suits you

De Viking residential location will open its doors in October 2026 in Wijk bij Duurstede. As a care assistant, you do not work at a residential location where care is central, but in a home where living comes first and where ordinary life continues. It is not the system that leads, but the life needs of the resident and their loved ones.

• You support residents with daily care
• You support meals, coffee moments, and daily activities
• You offer personal attention and a listening ear
• You encourage residents to continue doing what they can still do themselves
• You work together with loved ones, volunteers, and colleagues
• You notice peculiarities in the well-being of residents and discuss these with colleagues
• You contribute to a safe, warm, and homely living environment

At De Viking, it is about more than providing care. Here, you help residents with dementia to continue leading as ordinary and meaningful a life as possible. You truly get to know the residents and their loved ones and connect with what is important to them. The resident's life story, habits, and wishes form the starting point.

Even before the move, we get to know them during a home visit. Together with the resident and their loved ones, we map out what someone can still do themselves, what role their own network plays, and where support is needed. We record those agreements in the life care plan. That plan is not a document in a folder, but a guide for how you and your colleagues work every day.

You do not look at limitations, but at possibilities. You do not simply take over, but encourage residents to continue doing as much as possible themselves. In this way, you contribute to a warm home where residents feel seen and loved ones remain actively involved.

De Viking will become a place where life simply goes on. A home for elderly people with dementia where living, well-being, and care come together. Residents live here as much as possible according to their own rhythm, with space for personal wishes and habits.

We support where necessary, but we do not take over what residents and their network can do themselves. As a care assistant, you play an important role in this: you care, guide, and look together with residents and loved ones at what is truly important.

• You are hospitable, involved, and have an eye for the person behind the care needs
• You think in terms of possibilities and encourage residents in what they can still do themselves
• You work pleasantly with colleagues, loved ones, and volunteers
• You believe in person-centered care: you connect with the life, wishes, and habits of the resident
