Care Assistant Night Shifts in Leiden

At Topaz Haagwijk, we would love to welcome you as a Care Assistant in the night shift. Do you also enjoy working in the evening? Then a combination of night and evening shifts is certainly possible.

As the day comes to an end, your shift begins at our cozy Haagwijk location. No night is the same. One time an alarm goes off and a resident needs medical support. A little later, you offer a listening ear or share a cup of tea with a resident who needs a quiet moment during the night. Whatever happens, you keep a cool head and offer residents the peace and confidence they need at that moment.

During your night shift, you work closely with a Caregiver IG. Together, you ensure that all residents feel safe and secure. As morning breaks and the residents slowly wake up, you look back on a valuable night in which you contributed to their well-being and a good night's sleep.

You work rotating shifts, including weekends and public holidays.

You look beyond the care requirement and have sincere attention for the person behind it. The wishes and needs of residents always come first for you. You are observant, notice changes or peculiarities quickly, and know when to take action. Additionally, you communicate clearly and carefully, so that your morning shift colleagues know exactly what is happening thanks to your good handover.

• You possess a diploma in Care & Welfare Assistant (level 2) and possibly a Helpende Plus certificate.
• You have an affinity with the PG (Psychogeriatric) and Somatic target groups.

Our motto is that the whole life counts. Whether people live with us, are temporarily rehabilitating, or receive extra support at home, we always look beyond the care requirement of that moment! We stimulate curiosity by conducting research and testing innovations.
