You will help adults between the ages of 18 and 65 who have various support needs related to psychiatric disabilities or co-occurring disorders. You will primarily work in their homes. The user's individual needs and wishes guide your work, and you provide valuable support in daily life using the methods ESL (Independent Living) and MI (Motivational Interviewing).

• Planning, implementing, and participating in daily chores.

About you

For this position, you need:

• Experience with the target group.
• At least a high school education in care and nursing or other equivalent education.
• A B-driver's license and driving experience.

It is an advantage if you also have:

• Knowledge of low-affective handling.
• Knowledge of the ESL method (Independent Living).
• Knowledge of the MI method (Motivational Interviewing).

You have a good attitude towards everyone you meet. Flexibility is one of your strengths, and you enjoy working independently. You are innovative, empathetic, and responsive. Even in stressful situations, you maintain your composure and act safely and steadily. You are responsible and have the ability to structure your work independently in an efficient manner. Your social competence ensures that you collaborate well with others, and you take responsibility for both your own and your colleagues' work environment. You have a pedagogical understanding of people's different prerequisites and you easily adapt your communication accordingly.

You share our values, which are based on participation, safety, and respect. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
