Manager, Groenelaan Branch

The organization

Amstelring focuses on nursing home care, community care, day programs, and home care in the Amsterdam, Amstelland, and Meerlanden regions. Approximately 4,000 employees provide care and support to over 2,000 residents at 22 locations and 3,000 clients living at home. Amstelring is a flat organization, consisting of care teams, (location) managers, the integrated Service Team, the Board of Directors, and the corporate staff.

Employee and client participation is largely organized at the individual locations through a Client Council and a Subcommittee (OC, as part of the Works Council). Within Amstelring, much of the decision-making is decentralized. That is why it is crucial that the location manager be able to work effectively with the Client Council and the OC.

Amstelring's Vision

Amstelring stands for quality care, a pleasant work environment, and financial stability. On-site leadership and integrated management are seen as essential prerequisites for achieving these goals. Not just any leadership, but leadership based on Rhineland principles. This begins with trust in the expertise of the professionals. These professionals work in self-organizing teams that form the heart of the organization. To support them optimally, Amstelring adheres to the principles of proximity, taking the burden off, and simplification. The goal is to create small-scale groups of residents supported by small-scale self-organizing teams.

About Groenelaan

Groenelaan is a friendly, welcoming, and cozy assisted living facility located in a somewhat older building with 132 apartments. Residents at Groenelaan have varying care needs. Staff members work in 9 teams.

Groenelaan is located on the green outskirts of Amstelveen. Upon entering, visitors find themselves in the common area, which features a cozy café and a bright sunroom. The grounds include several beautiful gardens. Groenelaan places a high priority on diversity and has been recognized by De Roze Loper. Meaningful daytime activities and person-centered programs are key pillars of the facility, but these have been under pressure during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are working hard to restore these to their previous level. Curious? For more information, visithttps://www.amstelring.nl/verpleeghuis-groenelaan

Together with your colleagues, you will help advance initiatives aimed at making Groenelaan more future-oriented and creating an “open house for all residents.” You have a vision for and/or experience with residential care technology/home automation, as well as with innovation and improvement in the field of care.
