Truly make a difference as an ambulant counselor. You have an eye for people who are stuck in multiple areas. You know that behind behavior often lies a story and that small steps can have great meaning. With patience, clarity, and perseverance, you help participants regain control over their daily lives and live as independently as possible. For an ambulant team, we are looking for a counselor who can work independently, is resilient, and gets energy from varied and meaningful work.
What you will do.
- You guide adults with multiple and complex issues, such as psychiatric and/or addiction problems. Debts, limited living skills, or judicial frameworks can also play a role.
- You work ambulantly and visit participants at home. This allows you to see what is actually happening in their daily lives.
- You work recovery-oriented and align with the participant's possibilities and goals. You build trust, provide structure, and together look for long-term solutions. Even when a situation becomes complicated, you remain calm and maintain an overview.
- You have an important signaling role. You see when things are not going well, discuss this with the participant, and involve other professionals or agencies where necessary.
- Drawing up and evaluating the care plan together with the participant.
- Guiding participants in living, daily functioning, and personal goals.
- Managing your own caseload and reporting on guidance goals.
- Signaling risks and acting promptly in case of changes or escalation.
- Collaborating with municipalities, mental health services, neighbors, family, and other chain partners.
- Stimulating independence, self-reliance, and participation in society.
- Participating in on-call services.
