Healthcare Assistant IG - PG De Lunette - Zutphen - Living with Care

De Lunette in Zutphen is a large location, with many different smaller departments. For the small-scale departments with clients with dementia who have a care need, we are looking for new colleagues. Will you come to strengthen one of the teams?

Do you want to understand what a resident with advanced dementia truly needs? Together with your team, you will work on sometimes complex cases, where your patience and interest in behavior lead to a pleasant, relaxed day for our clients living at Berkelpoort and Laarpoort in De Lunette.
Additionally, we are also looking for reinforcement for Bourgonje 15, a cozy department where 14 clients with a somewhat lighter form of dementia live together.

You are, together with your colleagues, essentially always the first point of contact for the client and their loved ones, such as family members and informal caregivers. In our small-scale departments, you ensure a safe living environment with an eye for the things that are valuable to the clients. You would like to get to know their own habits, characteristics, and stories to contribute to the clients' quality of life. With your support, involvement, and sense of responsibility, you contribute to ensuring they can continue to do what they find important. That does not mean you do everything for the resident. Throughout the day, you provide support: you help where necessary by looking at the possibilities instead of the impossibilities. There are various tasks regarding ADL, nursing technical procedures, medication, nutrition, etc. Additionally, you are present at the doctor's visit, behavioral consultation hour, nutrition consultation hour, and you are the primary contact caregiver for a client.

Finally, there are various areas of focus and team tasks in which you can play a role; this depends on the team where you will be working.

For this position, we are looking for a colleague who has knowledge of residents with a psychogeriatric (PG) care need and works in a calm, problem-solving manner. No two days are the same, which requires the necessary creativity from you when it comes to filling the day, without the clients being inconvenienced by it. You always put them central. You (re)cognize weak points and are willing to be guided or trained in this. Individually or in a team.
To be eligible for this position, we ask for the following practical matters from you:

• You have at least an mbo diploma healthcare assistant IG level 3:
• A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) can be provided upon employment.
• Working irregular hours, such as weekends, is not a problem for you; after all, that is part of the job! Do you want to (also) work at night?! That is perfectly fine!
• Do you have a background in social care or social work? You are very welcome!

The position of healthcare assistant IG falls in scale FWG 40 (excluding 8% holiday allowance and 8.33% end-of-year bonus) in accordance with the VVT collective labor agreement. Depending on the experience you bring, we will determine the exact level of your salary.

Together, we will look at the possibilities for your contract. Do you enjoy working in multiple departments? Or are there scheduling preferences? We would like to look together to see if and how we can fit your wishes into the basic schedule. With the many different departments, there is a lot of possibility, including a combination of different departments!

With our flexible benefits system, you have the opportunity to make tax-advantaged purchases (sports subscriptions, devices). Additionally, you will receive a smartphone from us for use.
