Ambulant Personal Support Worker in the Netherlands

For the Dronten/Urk/Emmeloord region, we are looking for a colleague. As a Personal Support Worker (Bemoeizorger), you work with people who often avoid care and are stuck in multiple areas of life. You actively approach them, build trust step by step, and offer support where it is needed most. You are visible in the client's living environment and do not let go, even when contact is difficult. Additionally, together with your clients, you set goals aimed at recovery and self-reliance, and you are responsible for file management. You offer practical support, for example with debts, administration, or arranging housing. You also accompany clients to appointments at agencies such as the court, Probation Services, or practitioners. You are the connecting link between the client, colleagues, and external organizations such as municipalities, police, and healthcare institutions. You actively involve the client's social network in the recovery process. You adapt when necessary: sometimes you are a coach, sometimes a facilitator, sometimes a listening ear. You work independently, but you are never alone. You are given space to be creative in your approach and grow alongside your clients. The impact of your work is directly felt. For the client, their environment, and for you.

Is this position right for you? Then we would love to meet you!

• You proactively establish contact with clients who (do not yet) formulate a request for help

• You build a relationship of trust by being present and connecting with the client's experience

• You support your clients in multiple areas of life, such as housing, finances, daily activities, mental health, and social network

• Together with the client, you set goals and work towards stabilization and recovery, carry out evaluations with those involved, and adjust the plan if necessary.

• You delegate executed tasks to the residential support worker and coordinate the trajectory.

• You work outreach-oriented and conduct home visits

• You work closely with chain partners such as GGZ, municipalities, housing corporations, and social organizations

• You identify risks and take action when the safety or health of the client is at stake
