Care Assistant (plus) - PG Den Ooiman - Doetinchem - Living with Care

Are you an empathetic Care Assistant (plus) who loves providing clients with a pleasant and structured day? Do you bring calm to the ward with your patience, warm attention, and listening ear? Then we at Den Ooiman are looking for you!

At Den Ooiman in Doetinchem, we offer a warm home to clients with a psychogeriatric (PG) care need. As a Care Assistant (plus), you play a crucial role in the daily lives of the clients. You are the familiar face in the living room, providing the support for (ADL) care they need, and looking at what someone is still able to do themselves. With your sincere attention, creativity, and hospitality, you know how to respond to varying behavior and bring coziness and security to the ward.

Your workday is meaningful and varied. You start the shift together with the handover at the office, where specifics are discussed and tasks are distributed. Subsequently, you support the clients with their activities of daily living (ADL), such as physical care, dressing, and meals. You do not simply take everything over, but stimulate the self-reliance and autonomy of the client wherever possible.

You are very present in the living room. You help with the (pre)paration of food, pour a cup of coffee, and create a pleasant, safe atmosphere. There is plenty of room for wellbeing activities: from taking a stroll together through the greenery around Den Ooiman to playing a game or listening to music together. Do you notice changes in the behavior or health of a client? Then you coordinate this immediately with your colleagues, Caregivers IG and Nurses. Do you not yet have a 'Plus' certificate? We offer you the opportunity to obtain this.

Residential care location Den Ooiman is located on the edge of Doetinchem. You will join a warm team where we look out for one another. Within our wards, 32 clients live per ward.

We are on the threshold of beautiful developments and are moving towards providing care to an even more complex PG target group. Exactly how this will look is taking shape now, and you are welcome to think along about it! During inspiring theme meetings, we will engage in dialogue about this: which opportunities and challenges do you see? You truly get the chance to help build the care of the future.

You are caring with a big heart for elderly care and specifically psychogeriatrics. You can empathize well with the living world of clients with dementia, remain calm during misunderstood behavior, and communicate easily with colleagues and family members.

• You possess the Mbo Care and Welfare Assistant diploma (level 2);
• You already have the 'Plus' qualification (medication) under your belt, or you are willing to obtain this via Sensire;
• You possess the social skills and the patience to guide and stimulate clients in a positive way;
• You are flexibly deployable for varying day and evening shifts (both during the week and on weekends);
• A Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) is required upon employment.

We like to invest in your development and offer a pleasant, stable workplace. Our preference is for a contract between 16 to 24 hours per week, but we are certainly open to a smaller or larger (maximum 28 hours per week) contract.

The position of Care Assistant is graded in FWG 25 in accordance with the VVT collective labor agreement (cao). As soon as you have obtained the Plus qualification, you will be graded in FWG 30. This is exclusive of 8% holiday allowance, 8.33% end-of-year bonus, and the applicable irregularity allowances. Additionally, you can make use of our attractive flexible benefits system (for example, for a bicycle or sports subscription).
