The role

Your career in healthcare starts here - start the BBL training Healthcare Assistant at Zuyderland Home Care!
Are you ready to truly make a difference in the lives of others? Do you have a heart for care, are you eager to learn, and are you looking for a future-proof job full of meaning? Then this is your chance!

Zuyderland Home Care offers you a unique work-study program to become a Healthcare Assistant - including salary, guidance, and a job guarantee after obtaining your diploma.

Why choose Zuyderland Home Care?
At Zuyderland Home Care, you work and learn at the same time in a personal and professional environment. You will join one of our close-knit community teams, where you will receive a lot of responsibility and truly be seen. With over 10,500 colleagues, we are the largest employer in Limburg - and we are proud of that! At the same time, we work in small teams, where personal attention for our clients and employees is central.

Our care is constantly evolving due to aging and increasing complexity among clients at home. This calls for professionals like you - independent, professional, and committed. You will become the familiar face for clients in their own environment, where you make the difference at the moments that matter.

Regions: Sittard, Geleen-Schinnen, Beek-Stein, and Born-Susteren.

What you'll do

What will you do as a Healthcare Assistant apprentice at Zuyderland Home Care?
During the training, you will immediately gain valuable practical experience in one of our community teams. You will work irregular shifts - including evenings, weekends, and holidays - so that you get to know the profession in its full breadth.

In your role, you support and guide clients in their daily lives. You stimulate independence, promote well-being, and ensure a safe home situation. This includes:

  • Personal care, such as helping with washing, dressing, and meals;
  • Administering and recording medication and monitoring medication use;
  • Identifying changes in the health situation and responding adequately;
  • Performing nursing technical procedures such as wound care, administering injections, stoma care, or catheter care (depending on your learning phase and competence);
  • Providing psychosocial support and a listening ear;
  • Collaborating with informal caregivers, GPs, and other healthcare professionals both within and outside the community team.

This is how you learn to work independently, reason clinically, and truly respond to the unique situation of every client. No two days are the same - and that makes your work so valuable and educational.

  • School day: One fixed school day per week (average 8 hours) at Gilde in Sittard
