Personal Support Worker Protected Living

As a personal support worker, you have your own caseload and support clients in their home environment. Together, you set goals that contribute to participating in society as independently as possible. You look at what makes someone happy and what is needed to shape life as well as possible, despite the limitations that may sometimes exist. You coordinate the care surrounding the client and work closely with colleagues, external organizations, and the social network. You maintain an overview, evaluate progress, and offer practical support where necessary. With your involvement, you build a strong bond of trust and truly stand by the client's side. The variety between support, coordination, and contact with different parties makes this position dynamic and meaningful. We are looking for a committed and enthusiastic personal support worker to strengthen our team. You are self-assured, monitor your own boundaries, and have an eye for both residents and colleagues. You work both independently and collaboratively, and want to make a difference for our unique residents.

Kwintes supports people with a psychiatric or psychosocial vulnerability. We offer our clients professional help with living, working, and learning, to lead as independent a life as possible. You can find us in many different places in the center of the country; from Flevoland to Gouda. Recovery is a meaningful concept in the support that Kwintes offers.

At Kwintes, we focus on what is possible, even when it comes to your career. We work from trust and offer you a meaningful job, the space to be yourself, and to get more out of yourself. Do you also see more in people?
