Personal Counselor
You will guide vulnerable people in a protected residential facility, a place that offers peace and hope. Participants with a history of homelessness, psychiatric vulnerabilities, active addiction, and sometimes a judicial background reside here. You will be a conversation partner, a shoulder to lean on, and a motivator who encourages them to make positive choices. You will have control over your caseload, participate in care planning, and apply your expertise within clear frameworks.
You will work methodically and purposefully on recovery-oriented care, create structure, offer opportunities and perspective, and guide people towards an existence that is as independent as possible.
What you will do.
- Individual guidance: You build a professional, trusting relationship with participants and coach them in making positive choices.
- Tailored care: Together with the participant, you draw up a personal care plan, translating wishes, needs, and goals into concrete actions.
- Recovery-oriented work: You stimulate growth and self-direction, and support the development of skills for meaningful daily activities and future prospects.
- Pleasant living environment: You actively contribute to a stable, protected living environment where participants feel seen and heard.
- Building bridges: towards independent living, society, and chain partners, to enable participants to (re)participate.
