Residential Support Worker in the Netherlands

As a residential support worker, you play an important role in the lives of the clients. Together with the personal counselor, the client develops an individual support plan. As a residential support worker, you work from this plan, so that the client can direct their own life. You are alert to changes and offer practical help with daily activities such as grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning the home. Additionally, you perform ADL tasks and provide support with personal care. But that is not all! As a group leader, you ensure a pleasant atmosphere and structure during shared moments, such as mealtimes. You also contribute to administration and reporting. There is room for extra side tasks and your own development. Working in mental healthcare is special because you can truly make a difference in people's lives. You help them to increase their independence and improve their quality of life.
