Flemish term or phrase: Aandachtsbegeleider
Hi folks,

I’ve come across this term and get the impression it’s a neologism b/c I can’t seem to find much online. I have, however, found a good definition:

"Aandachtsbegeleider
"Elke bewoner heeft een aandachtsbegeleider. Naast zorg voor alle bewoners van de leefgroep heeft hij/zij bijzondere aandacht voor de opvolging van de noden en wensen van zijn aandachtscliënten.
Een aandachtsbegeleider fungeert als aanspreekpunt en heeft een brugfunctie, zowel intern als extern. Hij/zij neemt het initiatief voor een cliëntoverleg en bereidt samen met zijn cliënt een POP-bespreking voor.”

I don’t think “supervisor” or “counsellor” is appropriate due to the broad range of tasks involved in this type of care. So I’m thinking along the lines of “life coach” in this context. But does anyone have a better solution?

I look forward to your feedback.

Cheers,
R.

Note to reference poster
Asker: There is no travel involved here, José; it has to do with the daily routine of an individual with special needs. What’s more, your suggestion is not backed up by references and sounds awfully translated, so, no, this won’t do.
