We trust that you are good at what you do. This is what you get in return from us.
For information about this position, please contact the head of the Rehabilitation and Recovery department, Lesley Vonk at 06 16 13 88 28. Call or WhatsApp Cato van den Berg (recruiter) with questions about the application procedure via 06 26 00 92 58.
As a healthcare assistant (IG) in the Rehabilitation & Recovery department, you provide care 'with your hands on your back'. Not literally, of course, but you guide clients step by step towards recovery and independence, so that they can safely return home. After surgery, an accident, or hospitalization, clients work on their self-reliance with us. This makes your work varied and challenging, as you deal with many different medical conditions. And precisely at the moments when the department is a bit busier, you are of enormous value. With your flexible commitment, you step in when needed and help us to continue providing the best care.
Your work revolves around recovery. Together with the client, you look at what is needed to be able to go home again and work towards personal goals. Work is carried out in a goal-oriented manner using care pathways, ensuring that every client receives the right support during the rehabilitation process.
You support ADL activities and personal care, but above all, you encourage clients to continue doing as much as possible themselves. You guide, coach, and practice together, always with an eye for what someone is still able to do.
A rehabilitation process lasts on average 3 to 10 weeks. During that period, you truly build a bond with clients and see them grow in their recovery. That makes the work extra beautiful. Sometimes clients even go home fitter and stronger than before their admission.
Additionally:
At Het Gasthuis, we offer short-term care within Rehabilitation & Recovery. On the department, clients stay with diverse care needs, such as elective orthopedics, trauma, oncology, COPD, heart failure, and NAH, with a specialization in CVA. The department is fully in development, with the goal of creating a strong therapeutic climate in which client and healthcare professional collaborate optimally towards recovery and return home.
Within Rehabilitation & Recovery Gorinchem, you work together with about 60 dedicated colleagues. Think of care providers IG, nurses, and care managers, but also occupational therapists, physiotherapists, doctors, and physician assistants. Everyone works from the same goal: supporting clients as well as possible in their recovery process.
Collaboration is incredibly important in this. We work consistently, actively involve clients in their development, and give each other feedback in an open and respectful manner. And at least as importantly: we also just have a very pleasant time together. We are there for one another and are extra happy with colleagues who are flexibly deployable when the department requires it.
The clients you work with have often experienced something unpleasant. That is no small matter, and recovery will not always be easy. Together with you, they will go through it. You will take on the challenge. You see everything more positively, and you show that too! You coach, motivate, give compliments, and bring in humor. You have the patience to give the client the space and time needed to try it themselves. And if things in daily life are no longer so obvious for the client to perform themselves? Then you think along with practical solutions and aids to make it easier.
