Residential Support Worker in Utrecht

As a residential support worker, you guide residents based on their personal support plan, which they develop together with their personal counselor. You ensure its implementation, keep a sharp eye on changes, and respond to them carefully. This includes things like doing groceries together, providing structure in the day, and being a listening ear during difficult moments. You contribute to reporting and administration, ensuring that care always remains well-coordinated. You work in a dedicated team of residential support workers, residential care staff, night watchers, personal counselors, and a care manager. Together, you support 23 residents, each with their own story and challenges. Within the team, you will be given the space to delve into a specific theme within the residential location, for which you will be responsible. In this way, you contribute not only to your role but also to the development of the location. As a team, we provide 24/7 guidance, which requires flexibility, cooperation, and a warm heart. You build trust, offer stability, and help residents step by step towards greater independence.
