Residential Support Worker in the Netherlands

As a part-time residential support worker at Kwintes in Veenendaal, you offer residents of a sheltered housing location attention, structure, and stability. You guide clients based on their personal support plan, which you draw up together with the personal counselor. You support them with daily activities such as cooking, grocery shopping, and housework. In doing so, you help them to do more and more for themselves. Three groups live at the location, including one group where Korsakov syndrome and a dual diagnosis with addiction issues occur. During communal meals and group activities, you ensure a pleasant atmosphere and a clear structure. You devise and organize activities that match the interests of the residents. You signal changes in behavior or well-being in a timely manner and record them carefully, so that you and your colleagues can adjust the support where necessary. Together, you ensure a safe, stable living environment in which residents feel seen and heard. You are given space to think along about how you can improve the residential support and to further develop yourself in your profession.
