Healthcare Assistant (Verzorgende IG) Korsakov | Doorn

A resident who gains more control over their day thanks to your guidance. Someone who trusts you, even when life feels complicated. Or a small moment of success when a resident independently does something that previously wasn't possible. As a Healthcare Assistant (Verzorgende IG) Korsakov, you derive job satisfaction from these valuable moments.

Working with people with Korsakov syndrome is different from regular elderly care. It requires patience, proximity, humor, structure, and above all, the ability to continue seeing the person behind the behavior. Together with colleagues, practitioners, family, and volunteers, you create a safe and trusted living environment in which residents can live as independently as possible.

You support residents in their daily lives and contribute to a safe, structured living environment. In doing so, you work according to the care plan and align with the possibilities of each resident.

Your responsibilities include, among other things:

• Personal care and nursing technical procedures
• Providing structure, clarity, and predictability
• Stimulating self-reliance and personal autonomy
• Applying methodologies such as Empathic Directive Approach (EDB) and Errorless Learning
• Identifying changes in behavior, health, and well-being
• Dealing with problematic and boundary-crossing behavior and preventing escalations
• Reporting and observing according to agreed-upon procedures
• Collaborating with family, loved ones, and the multidisciplinary team
• Actively contributing to care plan discussions and multidisciplinary consultation

You look beyond the care needs alone. You are curious about the person behind the behavior and know how to tailor your guidance accordingly.

As a Healthcare Assistant (Verzorgende IG) on our Korsakov department, you play an important role in the daily lives of residents. You offer not only care, but also guidance. You help residents find structure, stimulate independence, and support them in maintaining skills.

No two days are the same. You work closely with colleagues from various disciplines and have plenty of room to contribute your observations, knowledge, and ideas. Precisely because the behavior and support needs of residents can be complex, you truly make a difference every single day.

You will start working on our specialist Korsakov department in Doorn. Here, people with Korsakov syndrome live, a condition that affects memory, insight, and daily functioning. Residents often have a need for clarity, structure, and guidance that aligns with their personal capabilities.

Within the department, a safe, trusted living environment is central. Together with colleagues, practitioners, family, and volunteers, you work toward a meaningful day for every resident. You support residents in maintaining and developing skills, stimulate independence where possible, and help them maintain as much control over their own lives as possible.

You will join a dedicated team where collaboration, craftsmanship, and development are important. We learn from each other, think along about improvements, and keep an eye on both residents and colleagues. This allows you to continue developing yourself within specialist Korsakov care.

For this position, we are looking for a colleague who stays close to residents, is driven in their profession, and remains curious about new insights and developments.

In addition, you have:

• A diploma as a Healthcare Assistant (Verzorgende IG)
• The correct authorizations and competencies
• Affinity with or interest in Korsakov care and complex care needs
• The ability to work methodically and report clearly
• An open, reflective, and learning attitude

• Continuing to see the person behind the behavior
• Providing calm and structure, even in challenging situations
• Collaborating well with colleagues, practitioners, and family
• Signaling changes in a timely manner and acting upon them
• Stimulating clients to continue doing what they are still able to do themselves
• Being curious and eager to keep learning

• A salary according to FWG 40 (CAO VVT)
• Contract hours that suit your wishes and private life
• Various contract forms, such as a permanent contract, flex-pool, or flexible agreement
• A permanent contract
• A pleasant working environment with dedicated colleagues
• Plenty of training and development opportunities via the QuaRijn Development Square (Ontwikkelplein)
• A flexible benefits system, including FiscFree
