Nurse (Mental Healthcare) in Amsterdam

At De Bogt, the atmosphere is nicely Amsterdam and cozy, which is why many colleagues quickly feel at home here. You are there for vulnerable residents: you observe how someone is feeling and what care and attention is needed at that moment. Are you that nurse who stands ready for our residents with great patience and a big smile?

Together with your colleagues, you are there for the residents of the mental health (GGZ) department. You not only support them with daily care, but place the emphasis on stabilization and psychosocial guidance. You work with a unique target group: former homeless and transient individuals with complex psychiatric disorders and/or addiction issues.

Because of this, your tasks are broader than those of a regular nurse:

• Specific tasks/Issues: You are the linchpin in creating structure, providing long-term guidance for complex behavioral issues and, if necessary, providing crisis intervention. Your focus lies on establishing and maintaining contact and motivating residents.

• Regular tasks: The wishes and needs of residents are central, with much attention to autonomy, quality of life, pleasant living, freedom, and meaning. You draw up the support plan (in consultation with colleagues, the resident, loved ones, and for example the doctor). You follow this plan regarding daily care, well-being, medication intake, and the performance of nursing technical procedures.

In addition to being a dedicated nurse, you are a good conversation partner for colleagues from other disciplines. Because you know the residents well, you immediately notice changes in their health or behavior.

Work experience in mental healthcare is not a requirement to work here. Naturally, you must have an affinity for it; you can then follow the necessary training and courses through us to become even better at your job. And are you doubting whether the mental healthcare department is for you? You are also welcome to shadow for a day (or part of a day) to experience it.

Your schedule and working hours are flexible. In consultation, we determine your working hours to fit your life.

You will find residential care center De Bogt right in the middle of the lively and hip Spaarndammerbuurt, near the Westerpark in Amsterdam. The lovely residents and colleagues make it a wonderful and unique place to work. The atmosphere is nicely Amsterdam and homely: it is no wonder many colleagues quickly feel at home with us. About 171 people live in De Bogt, all with rich life stories. In addition to elderly people with physical problems and dementia, people with an indication for protected living due to psychiatric conditions and/or an addiction also live there. Thanks to that broad client group, the work remains interesting and challenging.

Working at Amstelring means good employment conditions and great extras. What you will receive includes:

• Salary according to the CAO VVT: the above-mentioned salary is based on full-time (36 hours) and depends on diploma and experience.

• On top of your salary: 8% holiday allowance, 8.33% end-of-year bonus, and a bonus for referring new colleagues

• Discounts on, among other things, a new bicycle, your sports subscription, day trips, concerts, and (theater) performances

• For young Amstelringers, there is Jong Amstelring: a convivial group of colleagues who regularly meet up for professional, sporting, and social activities

As an Amstelring employee at De Bogt, you also benefit from:

• Good accessibility via public transport: buses 22 and 48 stop nearby

• Upon consultation and subject to sufficient availability, parking permits are available for € 3,- per day.

As a nurse, you notice changes in residents in a timely manner and know how to report what you hear and see well. You are solution-oriented, decisive, and have a sense of responsibility. Additionally, you naturally hold a Nursing diploma (mbo-4).
