• Thanks to your strong communication skills and your high team player-mentality, you can work excellently in a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals.
• Due to your kwaliteitsgerichtheid and empathie, you ensure that patients receive not only high-quality but also warm care.
• You work nauwkeurig, with an eye for detail.
• Due to your stressbestendigheid, you can easily switch between different tasks without losing sight of the bigger picture.

• Location of employment: Genk, occasionally also Lanaken.
• Market-conform salary according to IFIC14 or 14b based on relevant work experience.
• Vacation allowance and end-of-year premium as a nice extra.
• A group insurance policy (3% of the total gross income) with employee and employer contributions, allowing you to build up a nice sum for the future.
• Hospitalization insurance at favorable rates with the option to include your family.
• Lunch vouchers of 4.00 EUR per working day.
• An extra day off per month due to the 40-hour workweek.
