From the start, help build a new team and a new home for people with dementia

Are you a Healthcare Assistant (Verzorgende IG) and looking for a place where you truly get the space for your profession? Where you are not primarily busy with organizing and administration, but with that for which you were trained: providing good care, collaborating with residents and loved ones, and contributing to quality of life.

Then De Viking might just be the right fit 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. And perhaps even more importantly: a place that we build together from the ground up. With residents, loved ones, and colleagues.

• From the start, you help build a new team and a new residential location.
• You get the space to utilize your expertise as a Healthcare Assistant (Verzorgende IG).
• Together, we will look at a schedule that fits your life.
• Due to the collaboration with the inpatient case manager and quality nurse, there is less emphasis on EVV tasks and more on where your strengths lie.
• You work from the perspective of the resident's life, not from fixed care moments.
• Loved ones are actively involved and part of daily life.
• You contribute ideas regarding the further development of living, well-being, and care within De Viking.

It is nine o'clock.

In many places, everyone should have been washed and dressed by now. At De Viking, it works differently. A resident is still quietly enjoying a second cup of coffee because they have always had a slow start to the day. Another resident enjoys getting up early and helps with breakfast. You join in with what is important to them.

In between, you perform nursing technical procedures, consult with a loved one about an activity that used to have a lot of meaning, and coordinate something with the quality nurse. Together, you look at what someone can still do themselves and where support is needed.

Of course, there are also busy moments. On some days, a lot has to happen at once and care requires quick switching. Precisely then, we help each other and together make conscious choices about what is truly important for residents at that moment.

That is working at De Viking: providing care without losing sight of the fact that, first and foremost, this is someone's home.

• You provide care, guidance, and nursing technical care that aligns with the wishes of the resident
• You encourage residents to continue doing as much as possible themselves
• You identify changes in well-being and health and take appropriate action
• You work closely with colleagues, practitioners, the inpatient case manager, the quality nurse, and loved ones
• You share responsibility for well-being, living, and care
• You supervise students and interns
• You actively contribute ideas regarding the further development of De Viking

Let's meet!

Do you recognize yourself in our vision? Do you want to contribute, from your strengths and expertise, to a place where residents can continue to lead their lives as much as possible in the way they are used to? And do you get enthusiastic about the possibility of helping build something new?
