Residential Support Worker (flexible) in the Netherlands

In this role, everything revolves around proximity, attention, and providing support. You guide clients based on their personal support plan, which you draw up together with the personal counselor. You assist with daily activities such as cooking, grocery shopping, and housework, and you help clients to become more independent in these tasks. At the same time, you are the support the team needs during, for example, a meeting day or illness. The location is divided into 3 groups, including a group with Korsakov syndrome and a dual diagnosis with addiction issues. During shared moments, such as meals or group activities, you ensure a pleasant atmosphere and clear structure. You enjoy coming up with and organizing activities yourself that align with the interests of the group. You carefully observe, signal, and report changes in behavior or well-being, so that the support always aligns with what someone needs. You work closely with colleagues in a committed team where everyone's input counts. Together, you ensure a safe, stable environment in which clients feel seen and heard. In addition to the support, there is room to think along about how the work can be better, smarter, or more fun. This allows you to continue developing yourself and contribute to the development of care.

You know what people in mental healthcare need and how you, as a support worker, can make a difference. You switch easily between different situations and keep a cool head, even when things get tense. Furthermore:

• You have an MBO 4 diploma in healthcare, for example as a Personal Support Worker for Specific Target Groups.

• You have experience with or a strong interest in working with people with mental health vulnerabilities.

• You confidently work irregular shifts (early and late). Sleep shifts are handled by the sleep watch.

• You step in flexibly where needed and think in terms of possibilities.

• A job in which you make a difference every day!

• Your first contract is a temporary contract. If we are happy with each other, your next contract will be for an indefinite period.
