Personal Support Intern, Ede Veenendaal region

During your HBO internship, do you want to learn how to support people with mental or psychosocial vulnerabilities in their recovery and in increasing their independence? As a personal support intern at Kwintes, you will get the chance to develop in the methodical support of clients and working towards their personal goals. You will learn how to map out support needs together with clients, draw up and evaluate support plans, and offer appropriate support. In doing so, you will not only look at the challenges someone experiences, but especially at the possibilities, wishes, and the client's own autonomy. You will work together with colleagues and other involved professionals and learn how to coordinate the support surrounding a client. As you progress in your internship, you will receive increasing space to take on tasks and responsibilities independently, naturally appropriate to your year of study and learning goals, and under the guidance of experienced colleagues.

Within the Ede Veenendaal region, Kwintes has various locations where you can do an internship starting from February 2027. Our clients, living arrangements, and teams differ per location. This also means that no two internship positions are exactly the same.

By applying to this vacancy, you are not applying for one specific location. Together with you, we will look at which possibilities exist within the region and which internship position best aligns with your studies, learning goals, and interests.

Of course, we will also discuss what you find important in an internship and which target group you would like to gain experience with.
