Sleep watch in the Netherlands

During your shift, you are the point of contact for clients and you monitor the day and night rhythm. You ensure a safe atmosphere in the house and provide support where necessary. You begin the evening with a handover from colleagues and perform light household tasks. Around 11:00 PM, you withdraw to a separate room on location, where you sleep until the morning. If you are woken up, you know how to react calmly and decisively. In the event of emergencies, you take initiative and, if necessary, consult by telephone with a colleague on the on-call service. From 07:00 AM, you start the day by preparing breakfast. You distribute this and ensure a warm start to the morning. As soon as your colleagues arrive, you hand over your findings and conclude with a cup of coffee or tea. You work one night per week, from 09:30 PM to 09:00 AM. This position is easy to combine with studies, family, or another job. You make a real difference, especially at the moments when others are sleeping.
