About VIGO

In their own words

About the company & team

You work at a small-scale, stable residential location in Nijmegen where, together with passionate colleagues, you provide a safe foundation. You work in a system-oriented and solution-oriented manner and always look for what is possible. In their daily lives, you guide young people step by step, from a practical, active, and down-to-earth attitude.

You are part of a multidisciplinary team that looks at the total system surrounding the young person: school, parents, network, and neighborhood. There is room to reflect, to learn, and to keep each other sharp. Experience with psychiatric problems helps with this, but above all, your willingness to continue investigating what these young people need.

"Helping young people on their way to adulthood often lies in small things. Taking the neighborhood into account, for example. Learning that happens through trial and error. It doesn't always have to (and cannot always) go well, and all emotions are allowed to be there. It is important to let young people experience what consequences are and to guide them in dealing with those consequences." Rob, colleague at the small-scale living group in Nijmegen.
