As a residential support worker at team Hobbemastraat in Woerden, you will support clients with psychological vulnerabilities in a protected living environment. You provide structure, monitor boundaries, and build a bond of trust. No two days are the same in the role of residential support worker: your expertise and commitment make the difference in the daily lives of our residents. You work based on individual support plans, drawn up together with the personal counselor. You ensure implementation, signal changes, and act proactively. As a residential support worker, you support residents with daily activities such as cooking, grocery shopping, and keeping the home clean, with an eye for independence and self-management. Where necessary, you provide support with ADL tasks. Within our enthusiastic team, you will work closely with colleagues and actively contribute to the further development of our way of working. There is room for your expertise, ideas, and professional growth to make the role of residential support worker your own.
