24 – 36 hours (by agreement)

Do you speak Arabic and want to support others on their way to independence?
هل تتحدث العربية وترغب في دعم الآخرين نحو الاستقلال؟

At Darna Care, you don’t work from rules, but from people. From genuine attention. From trust. From being close.

For our clients who receive outreach support in Arnhem and Nijmegen, we are looking for an outreach support worker who speaks Arabic. That way we can connect even better with the daily lives, culture and support needs of the people we work with. Do you have a vocational (mbo 4) diploma or a bachelor’s (hbo) degree? Both are welcome: we are happy with any candidate who speaks Arabic and fits our way of working.

Working as an outreach support worker at Darna Care

You:

• support clients with housing, finances, work, health and relationships
• translate support needs into concrete goals and a future plan
• work in a recovery-oriented and systemic way
• liaise with municipalities, neighbourhood teams and treatment providers
• identify risks and act in time
• report carefully and methodically
• contribute to peer supervision and development
• as a bachelor’s-level professional, take the lead on support plans and monitor progress

You are close by where needed and clear where it matters.
