Coordinating Support Worker Social Shelter

As a coordinating support worker, you will join a pleasant and friendly team in a dynamic workplace, where we work with a wide target group. These are people who, for whatever reason, are temporarily without a roof over their heads and also require psychosocial support. As a coordinating support worker, you coordinate the care surrounding clients and actively maintain external and internal contacts. For clients within your caseload, you will draw up a support plan as a coordinating support worker and share responsibility for the structured implementation of this plan. You will also provide support with the management of financial and material resources if necessary and stimulate the self-reliance of clients. You contribute to a good living atmosphere and maintain oversight of the group process. In doing so, you keep an eye on the
safety and well-being of clients. Additionally, you prepare client and daily reports. You work in a self-managing team of coordinating support workers. As a team, you collectively take care of the entire assistance process, from admission to departure. Working in a self-managing team means that you collectively ensure a good distribution of various tasks. You can think of internship coordination, training, recruitment and selection, and other tasks.

You will be working at the social shelter De Vluchtheuvel in Hilversum. We have space for 16 clients. Among them will also be parents with children. On average, clients stay at the shelter for 3 months. In practice, your work is very varied. Skills such as decisiveness and flexibility are therefore indispensable in this job. Every week, we meet to discuss the progress of the clients' assistance. We find peer supervision very important and ensure that we make time for this every 6 weeks.
