Help build a home where life takes center stage and care plays a supporting role

Are you someone who looks not only at the care that is needed, but above all at what makes a day worthwhile for a person? Do you believe that a familiar routine, a pleasant conversation or doing something together can sometimes be just as important as the right care at the right moment? Then De Viking might just be the place for you.

In October 2026, we will open the doors of De Viking in Wijk bij Duurstede. Not a nursing home as you might know it, but a new home for people with dementia. A place that we will build together from the ground up. With residents, loved ones and colleagues. And it is precisely in this that you, as an MMZ/VIG professional, play an important role.

MMZ/VIG is a special combination of Social Care Worker (MMZ) and Individual Healthcare Assistant (VIG). It is precisely this combination that fits De Viking perfectly. You support residents not only with their care and health, but also contribute to a meaningful daily life. You look at what someone can still do themselves, what someone enjoys, and what helps someone to remain as much themselves as possible.

At De Viking, we do not see residents as clients, but as people with their own life story, habits and preferences. That is why we focus mainly on what is important to each person. How someone likes to start the day. Which activities give energy. What role family plays. And how we can together contribute to a life that feels as much like home as possible.

• You will help build a new team and a new residential location from the very start
• You get the chance to help shape the culture and way of working at De Viking from day one
• You combine well-being with care in one meaningful role
• You help residents keep making their own choices in daily life as much as possible
• You look not only at what someone needs, but especially at what someone finds important
• You work closely with loved ones, whom we see as important partners around the resident
• You contribute to an environment in which freedom and personal autonomy are preserved as much as possible
• You work together with colleagues, therapists and other disciplines to offer residents the best-suited support

It is midway through the morning.

A resident helps prepare lunch in the living room. It might take a bit more time than if you did it yourself, but you know how important it is that someone stays involved in the things that always used to happen naturally. You support where needed, but don't take over right away.

Later in the day, you notice that a resident is withdrawing and participating less actively in the group. You sit next to them, make contact, and try to find out what's going on. Maybe someone is tired, insecure, or missing a familiar activity from the past. By looking and listening carefully, you often gain valuable insights that help you better connect with what the resident needs.

In between, you support residents with personal care, carry out nursing procedures, and administer medication. You notice changes in health, behavior, and well-being and discuss them with colleagues.

At the end of the afternoon, you have contact with family members. They share habits, hobbies, and memories that help keep their loved one's daily life recognizable and familiar. You take that knowledge with you into your guidance and care.

That is what working as an MMZ/VIG carer at De Viking is like: close to residents, close to loved ones, and always focused on what matters to someone — that is what we stand for at De Viking.

• You support residents with personal care and daily activities
• You guide residents in living, well-being, social contacts, and a meaningful daily routine
• You encourage residents to keep doing as much as possible themselves and to make their own choices
• You observe and report changes in health, behavior, and well-being
• Together with colleagues, you set appropriate care and support goals and evaluate them
• You actively involve relatives in residents' daily lives
• You work closely with colleagues, therapists, and other disciplines
• You actively contribute to the further development of De Viking
