The role

What will you do?

As a clinical psychologist, you combine two areas of work within Amsterdam UMC. You will work 20 hours per week within Rehabilitation Medicine and 12 hours at the Medical Psychology outpatient clinic.

Within the neurorehabilitation team, you guide patients with muscle diseases and their loved ones through the psychological consequences of their condition. This concerns slowly progressive muscle diseases, such as post-polio syndrome, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, and myotonic dystrophy, as well as rapidly progressive muscle diseases such as ALS.

At the Medical Psychology outpatient clinic, you treat patients referred to us from various somatic specialties. Additionally, you perform consultations in clinical departments and advise physicians and other healthcare professionals.

Your main responsibilities are

performing psychodiagnostics and providing short-term psychological treatment;
guiding patients, loved ones, and caregivers through the psychological impact of illness and treatment;
drafting treatment plans and monitoring psychological functioning during the rehabilitation process;
participating in multidisciplinary consultations and advising physicians and other healthcare professionals;
contributing to education or patient-related scientific research, matching your interests and ambitions.

In addition to patient care, you contribute to one of the other core tasks of Amsterdam UMC: education or scientific research. Within research, you work on the development and evaluation of behavioral interventions for persistent somatic complaints and adaptation to chronic illnesses. If you choose education, you will teach and organize education on medical psychology. You can also provide supervision and work guidance to psychologists in various stages of their training.

You primarily perform your duties at the AMC location.

What do you bring?

You feel at home in an academic environment and enjoy working with patients with complex somatic conditions. You can work independently and actively seek collaboration with colleagues from different disciplines. You are involved, flexible, and enjoy thinking along about the development and innovation of care.

In addition, you have:

A BIG registration as a clinical psychologist or healthcare psychologist (GZ-psychologist);
demonstrable experience with the diagnostics and treatment of psychological complaints in patients with somatic conditions. Experience within rehabilitation care is a plus;
affinity with and ambition in the field of scientific research and/or education;
training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT); membership of the VGCt is a plus;
the motivation to contribute to the development and innovation of care.
