Healthcare Assistant (IG) District Nursing in the Netherlands

Autumn has begun: the leaves are turning red and gold, the days are getting shorter, and that green coat continues to stand out in Gorinchem. For your clients, you are more than a caregiver. You are a familiar face, a listening ear, and someone who looks at what is possible. With your personal attention, you help people to live at home as independently and comfortably as possible. And precisely in these dark, colder months, you bring warmth to the front door.

As a healthcare assistant (IG), you make the difference! You help clients to continue living at home as independently and comfortably as possible. You do this with nursing-technical procedures such as giving injections, catheter care, administering medication, and wound care. But your greatest strength lies in the personal attention you offer: a good conversation, a listening ear, and noticing changes in someone's health. You see what is needed and coordinate where necessary with GPs, physiotherapists, specialists, and (district) nurses.

Our district teams have a duo at the helm: a team manager who ensures operational management, and a coordinating district nurse who monitors the quality of care. This way, you can always brainstorm regarding professional content, while you can rely on all administrative matters being in good hands. We find your role and influence as a healthcare professional very important.

Welcome to Gorinchem: a city full of history, but also full of energy! Our community team is buzzing, and you will notice that immediately. We go a long way for each other and enjoy short lines of communication. Your workplaces are as diverse as the city itself: from a cozy apartment building where you provide care in the smallest room, to a spacious villa with a view over the city.

In Gorinchem, you recognize your colleagues immediately: by that green coat! The fun part is that this often leads to spontaneous encounters. Our team is professional, but also close-knit and sociable. We look at where your passion lies: are you creative or rather someone who brings structure? Together, we ensure that everyone can truly thrive.

Some colleagues start the day from the office, others from home. In between, we like to drink a cup of coffee together or join in for a shared lunch. And conveniently: there is always a bicycle ready to zip through the city.
