Night watchman in the Netherlands

As a night watchman, you are the silent force of the night. Between 22:15 and 07:45, you ensure that our clients get through the night safely, calmly, and with confidence. As a night watchman, you stay awake and alert to solve practical problems, administer medication, and act decisively in the event of emergencies. You keep an eye on the clients' day and night rhythms and signal what is happening; your observations and handovers are valuable to the entire team. Using the presence approach, as a night watchman, you align as much as possible with what the client needs at that moment, whether that is a reassuring chat, help with personal care, or simply the feeling that someone is there.

In the night, you make the difference. Will you come to strengthen our team?

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

The BW+ is a protected living environment in Bussum that is easily accessible by public transport. We offer guidance and support to 26 residents aged approximately 70 and older. The residents have a psychiatric background, and some have limited somatic care needs. You will work within a dedicated and experienced team of approximately 25 employees consisting of (coordinating) supervisors, assisting supervisors, household supporters, and an activity coordinator. Together, we ensure a pleasant atmosphere in the group where everyone can be themselves.

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.

If applicable, a shadowing moment follows, and then the employment conditions interview. Upon employment, we request a VOG (certificate of good conduct).
