Client Council Member | Various locations

Are you someone who would like to represent the voice of the elderly? Do you want to make a difference in elderly care and ensure that the wishes and needs of clients are central? Then we are looking for you!

The client council represents the interests of our residents and their loved ones. As a member of the council, you help to organize the care and well-being of the clients as well as possible. You consult regularly with management regarding important decisions, provide advice, and think along about policy plans that directly affect the lives of the clients.

There are currently several client councils active in the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and Doorn area. Together with you, we will look at which client council suits you best. Your tasks will include, among others:

• Attending meetings of the client council
• Engaging in conversation with residents, family members, and healthcare staff to capture signals and wishes
• Providing advice to management regarding the quality of care and well-being
• Assessing policy plans from the perspective of the clients
• Proposing suggestions for the improvement of care processes

• You are available for approximately 4 to 8 hours per month. How often you meet depends on the client council you join
• You have an affinity for elderly care and are open to the experiences and needs of clients
• You have good communication skills and can both listen and advise
• You have an affinity for employee participation
• You have respect for the opinions of others and can work together in a team
• Experience within the healthcare sector is nice, but not a requirement
• A large network, for example within a municipality, is a plus
