Support Worker in the Netherlands

As a counselor, you truly make a difference in the lives of our clients! Together with the client, you draw up a personal support plan and offer assistance with daily life, living, and working. With your own caseload as a counselor, you contribute to a pleasant and safe living environment and the well-being of the clients. You have a sharp eye for potential bottlenecks in care and health, and ensure correct medication administration.
Additionally, you support clients in managing their financial and material resources and facilitate group discussions to promote harmonious cohabitation. You stimulate the self-reliance of clients, especially with household tasks. Furthermore, you prepare client and daily reports and, as a counselor, you actively maintain contact with both internal and external partners. In short, as a counselor, you are the pivot that ensures our clients feel supported and safe. Come strengthen our team and make a difference every day!

From September 2026, the Lorentzweg location will be temporarily located in the old Tergooi hospital in Blaricum, because their own building is being renovated.

At our protected residential location on Lorentzweg in Bussum, together with a dedicated and diverse team, you will support approximately 55 adult clients with psychiatric disorders. Everyone has their own room and the ages range from 24 to 74 years - that ensures a lot of variety in your work.

As a counselor, you help clients get their lives back on track. We offer support in all sorts of areas: from daily activities and work to social contacts and finances. The goal? Stability and room for development. No two days are the same, and that is exactly what makes the work so engaging!

Temporarily based in Blaricum
Lorentzweg is temporarily located in the former Tergooi hospital in Blaricum (this location is also easy to reach and is located next to the highway). Our own building is being fully and modernly renovated. As soon as the renovation is complete, we will return to our renewed location at Lorentzweg.

The procedure consists of 2 interviews; the 1st interview is with the recruiter and the 2nd interview is on-site with 1 or 2 colleagues and a client. If applicable, a shadowing moment and the employment terms interview will follow. Upon employment, we request a VOG (certificate of good conduct). This vacancy is posted both internally and externally. In the event of equal suitability, the internal candidate will take precedence.
Nice position, right? We therefore expect to fill this ourselves, and we find recruitment agencies to be a waste of your and our time!
