As a sociotherapeutic worker, you make a difference for people in particularly vulnerable situations. You help patients struggling with enormous challenges, such as clients with complex issues or asylum seekers. You are their first point of contact, offering structure, safety, and a listening ear. Every story is unique, but you always have one goal: to guide them on their path to recovery.
No day is the same; you are ready for all patients in your department and are the personal supervisor for one or two individuals. You can choose to work in an intensive care unit, a crisis department, or a department where patients prepare for their next step towards a follow-up facility. The diversity of stories and backgrounds makes your work constantly challenging and impressive within a specialized care institution.
What you do
- Provide peace and structure through a fixed program of (occupational) therapy and rest periods.
- Engage in daily activities such as playing a game, watching TV, or taking a walk.
- Always offer a listening ear, help where you can, and ensure patients feel heard.
- Work intensively with a multidisciplinary treatment team, consisting of a psychiatrist, primary therapist, social worker, and other therapists and supervisors.
- Involve the treatment team as needed to provide the best care.
- Provide valuable input for patient discussions and contribute to their treatment plans and next steps.
