Community Nurse (Verzorgende IG) in Amsterdam

Joining an existing neighborhood team? That can happen anywhere. But in Amsterdam's Plantagebuurt, you get the chance to be there from the very beginning and help build it. And that is exactly why we are not just looking for a new colleague, but for someone who gets energy from pioneering. Do you see something that is different from the norm? And instead of waiting, do you look at what is needed and take action? Great, then we are looking for you!

You will be working in a new community care team in the Plantagebuurt in Amsterdam center. A large portion of the clients live in the apartments in the De Nieuwe Sint Jacob residential complex, next to Artis. But you will also provide care to people living independently in the surrounding neighborhood. Naturally, you will do what you are good at here: providing good care to people at home. But here, you also get the chance to think along about how we work together, how we organize our care, and above all: what kind of team we want to be together.

You visit clients at home and look together at what is needed to continue living as independently as possible. You support with daily care, perform nursing technical procedures, and keep a close eye on changes in the health and well-being of clients. Do you notice that a client is declining or that the home situation is changing? Then you take action. You assess what is needed, involve other professionals where necessary, and ensure proper follow-up. You work independently, but you are never alone.

That requires you to know your profession, dare to make choices, and take responsibility for what you encounter. Of course, you work together and can rely on colleagues, but in the community, you are regularly at a client's home on your own. It is precisely in those moments that we rely on your professional insight.

Welcome to Amstelring Wijkzorg! Our 45 self-organizing community teams consist of approximately 7 to 15 colleagues per team, a mix of helpers, caregivers IG, and nurses. Our healthcare professionals provide support with ADL, daily structure, nursing technical procedures, guidance in the final phase of life, or regaining control over one's own life. We work in Aalsmeer, Amstelveen, Amsterdam, Badhoevedorp, De Kwakel, Diemen, Hoofddorp, Kudelstaart, Nieuw-Vennep, Uithoorn, Ouderkerk, Rijsenhout, and Zwanenburg.

The new team will be built in phases: you will work together with your new colleagues, the project leader, and Amstelring on the development and growth of the team. During this process, you will, of course, be guided as a team.

The De Plantage community team has a base at the Mauritskade, and you can make use of an electric bicycle to visit clients in the neighborhood.

Working at Amstelring Wijkzorg means good employment conditions and nice extras. What you receive includes:

• Salary according to the CAO VVT; the 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

• Pension accrual via Amstelring at Pensioenfonds Zorg & Welzijn

• 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

At Amstelring Wijkzorg, you also benefit from:

• An annual budget to use for training

• Opportunities to follow specialized advanced training

• Trainings provided by our own professionals

We are not looking for someone who has already done everything. We ARE looking for a healthcare professional who works independently and takes responsibility, who always thinks in terms of possibilities and solutions. You enjoy helping to build a new team and get energy from the idea that you can soon say, "I was there when we started this team." Additionally, you naturally hold a diploma as a Community Nurse (Verzorgende IG, mbo-3).

Are you independent, do you dare to take responsibility, and are you not intimidated if not everything is yet fixed? And does this give you energy? Great, then we would love to hear from you!
