Residential Support Worker for Young Adults

In the role of residential counselor, you guide young people in a way that aligns with their personal goals and pace. You work with individual guidance plans that they develop together with their personal counselor. As a residential counselor, you translate these plans into daily practice and keep an eye out for signs of change. You provide support with everyday tasks, such as grocery shopping, cooking, and keeping the home clean. Additionally, you offer emotional support in one-on-one conversations, in which you help young people organize their thoughts and feelings and encourage them in their development. Not as a residential counselor from a distance, but as someone who stands beside them. During collective group moments, such as dinner or lunch, you ensure a safe atmosphere and provide clear structure. You are visible and involved, and you know when to steer and when to provide space. Additionally, you contribute to reporting and administration, so that the guidance remains well-coordinated. You work closely with colleagues, but also receive plenty of room to shape your own approach as a residential counselor.
