Healthcare Assistant IG Parkinson Ward – Den Ooiman - Wonen met Zorg

The light is bright and stimuli are kept to a minimum. At the Parkinson ward of Den Ooiman, everything revolves around peace, regularity, and structure. Behind that tranquility lies a dynamic working environment where you, as a Healthcare Assistant IG, make the difference between an 'off' day and a pleasant day.

No two days are the same on our ward, simply because Parkinson's manifests itself differently in every client. In the communal living room, we create a safe foundation. Reading the newspaper together or playing a game; you ensure that everyday life continues.

Your role is that of a healthcare professional and coach:

• On a Parkinson ward, medication timings are extremely critical. You understand that being five minutes late makes a world of difference to the client's mobility.
• Nursing technical procedures are almost non-existent. Your strength lies in providing daily structure and providing coaching support to clients in processing their illness.
• You are patient when processes take time to settle in, but you switch gears lightning-fast when a client suddenly blocks due to a 'freeze'.
• You work closely with day treatment, volunteers, and especially the family. Loved ones play a major role and find support and recognition among each other (and with you).

We are a team that truly does things together. We are transparent, honest with each other, and constantly share our knowledge and experiences. Because Parkinson's is a complex brain disease that affects the entire body, we continue to specialize. With us, experience is a plus, but the will to learn is many times more important. We offer you all the space to develop into a true Parkinson expert.
