Care and Welfare Manager Huntington

In the role of care and welfare manager, you will hold a key role within the Huntington center of Topaz Overduin, a center with the Topcare designation in Huntington care, Triple C trained, and one of the three Target Group Expertise Centers in the Netherlands. You will lead an inpatient care team of approximately 34 FTE (including trainees and on-call staff) and continue to build a close-knit, professional unit. A team that provides care that truly connects with the lives residents led before they came to live with us.

Within the team, you ensure both direction and development. With your coaching and positive leadership style, you create a work and learning climate in which colleagues take ownership and stimulate each other to continue developing continuously. You challenge the team to look critically at how we work and why we do it that way. In this way, you safeguard innovation and quality improvement. Together, we invest in research, innovative treatment methods, and (international) chain collaboration. You play an active role in this by seeking connection, both within and outside the organization.

You work closely with colleagues in the management team and participate in organization-wide working groups and projects. At the same time, you stay close to your team and ensure optimal staffing and clear results. With your combination of overview, involvement, and decisiveness, you continue to build quality of care and a strong, future-proof organization.

Your experience and professionalism make you a valued interlocutor for colleagues and employees. You know how to bind and engage people and provide clear direction. You are communicatively strong, organizationally sensitive, and manage based on results and quality. Additionally, you bring the following:

• A completed relevant HBO (higher professional education) degree and a management training in healthcare (or the willingness to obtain one);
• Experience in a comparable role within a healthcare organization. Experience in psychiatry or disability care is a plus;
• Knowledge of or interest in LEAN leadership;
• Experience with change management.

In conversation, it becomes clear that you are a firm, authentic, and professionally critical leader. You switch easily between roles and styles, establish contact easily, and know how to motivate employees in their development, with an eye for everyone's qualities. And with the necessary humor and sense of perspective, you also keep a cool head during hectic moments.

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

In this position, you will be working at Topaz Overduin. The Nursing, Treatment, and Huntington Center Topaz Overduin provides care to approximately 200 residents with dementia, Korsakoff syndrome, and Huntington's disease. The 550 employees and 200 volunteers work with passion and great commitment and are driven to provide the best quality of care. Overduin is in the heart of the Katwijk community and the atmosphere is warm and collegial. Globally, Topaz Overduin is the largest expertise center for Huntington's disease. We invest in research and innovation, develop new treatment methods, and share knowledge within the sector.
