Do you want to become a support worker yourself?

Do you want to make a difference for seniors and work with genuine care? As a companion, you bring peace, companionship, and support into daily life.

You really mean something to someone and often build a special bond.

Alle vrijheid

As a support worker, you work directly for the person you visit (your client). Therefore, you are not employed by an organization, but build your own client base.

You determine together with the client:

• when you come by
• what you do together
• what the week looks like

It is about personal contact, help, trust, and spending the day pleasantly together.

For those who would like to work even more independently, there is also an opportunity within Gea Thuis to be active as a Gea Thuis ambassador. You will work with complete freedom on your own client base, using the name, experience, and practical tools of Gea Thuis. This is a great opportunity if you have long wanted to build something valuable in your own living environment. Click here to read more >

What does the job entail?

Je komt bij iemand thuis voor hulp, gezelschap en aandacht.

Denk hierbij aan:

• talking or having coffee together
• een boterham smeren of samen koken
• take a walk
• grocery shopping together
• a small load of laundry or washing up
• accompany to an appointment
• do something together
• just being there

Het draait niet om zorg, maar om tijd, aandacht en menselijk contact.

This suits you if you:

• are friendly, patient and reliable
• makes contact easily and is a good listener
• zelfstandig werkt en je afspraken goed nakomt
• enjoys meaning something to someone else
• graag persoonlijk contact hebt
• een positieve en rustige houding hebt

Additionally, it is helpful if you:

• have transport (bicycle, car or public transport)
• can handle email, an app, and an online form
• views this as a valuable side job (certainly not as main income)
• in overleg met de cliënt ook buiten kantoortijden beschikbaar bent

Working under the domestic services scheme

You work under the domestic services scheme. This means that you work directly for your client (the client), and are also paid directly by your client.

Together you make agreements about:

• when you come by
• what you do together
• the compensation
• The client pays your salary directly.

It is flexible work where personal contact and trust are central.

Making a difference for someone else

Fair compensation is part of the deal, but for many people, the value lies primarily in the connection. The conversations, the moments together, and the feeling that you can really make a difference in someone's day.
