Residential Care Worker in the Netherlands

As a residential care worker, you work together with clients to ensure a pleasant and livable living environment. For example, you help with cleaning, laundry, washing up, and doing groceries. But your work as a residential care worker is so much more than that: it is precisely during these daily moments that personal contact arises and you build a trusting bond with clients.

You have an eye for what is happening, signal changes, and discuss them with the personal counselor. In this way, as a residential care worker, you contribute to the well-being of clients in both a practical and a personal manner. You work from Monday through Saturday, in consultation and primarily in day shifts. A wonderful position if you enjoy working with people, like being hands-on, and want to do meaningful work in healthcare. We are looking for someone for 24 to 28 hours per week.
