Licensed Practical Nurse (IG)

Job description

Are you looking for a rewarding job in elderly care as a Licensed Practical Nurse (Verzorgende IG)? Do you enjoy caring for seniors in need of support? Then this is your chance.

As a Verzorgende IG, you provide daily support to residents who can no longer live independently. You assist with personal care such as getting up, washing, dressing, and using the toilet. You also help with meals and mobility, for example, transferring residents from bed to wheelchair.

You’ll perform nursing tasks such as administering medication, wound care, and giving injections. You monitor the health status of residents and report any changes to the care team. You are also responsible for creating and updating care plans.
