Nurse - CVA

Do you enjoy your work as a nurse? But do you want to take the next step? Or are you ready for more responsibility and opportunities to develop yourself? Then we at the CVA department in the Leo Polak are looking for you!

As a nurse on our CVA rehabilitation ward, you make a difference for clients recovering from a stroke. 13 clients reside on our small-scale ward. Everyone has their own room and some rooms feature their own kitchen, so that clients can practice daily skills for their return home.

A rehabilitation trajectory lasts on average 1 to 3 months. During that period, you are there with a listening ear for the client and their loved ones. In addition to professional care, you guide them in dealing with the loss of bodily functions, processing the profound event, and discovering what is still possible. Meanwhile, you maintain an overview: you signal changes immediately and act decisively in acute situations.

We do not need to tell you how to practice your profession. Driven by your passion for people and a structured approach, you raise the quality of care to a higher level. You enjoy sharing your knowledge with caregivers and nursing assistants, and you work closely with doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and psychologists. During the weekly MDTs and physician rounds, you determine together the most appropriate follow-up for the client.

You work in day and evening shifts. So you do not work night shifts! The fixed working hours are:

• Day shift: 07:30 to 16:00

• Evening shift: 14:30 to 23:00

Welcome to nursing and rehabilitation home Leo Polak in Amsterdam Osdorp! As soon as you walk in, the pleasant, positive atmosphere is immediately noticeable. Everyone looks out for one another. Colleague Agnes: 'From the outside, we regularly hear how pleasant, cozy, and warm the atmosphere is here. And we are proud of that!'
