How do you ensure that medical technology functions reliably, technical innovations find their way into practice, and healthcare professionals can trust the equipment they use daily? As Team Leader of the Instrumentation Service at the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, you combine technical insight with powerful leadership.

Your role: providing direction, connecting, and improving

The Instrumentation Service is indispensable for the safe, reliable, and future-oriented functioning of medical-technical equipment within the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. From management and maintenance to the implementation of new technology and the development of customized technical solutions: the service ensures that technology aligns with the needs of our healthcare professionals and the requirements of a high-tech hospital environment.

As Team Leader of the Instrumentation Service, you lead the instrumentation technicians, maintenance coordinators, and instrument makers. You are responsible for daily management as well as the further development of the team and the department. You face a significant but solid development challenge. You bring structure, clarify roles and responsibilities, and strengthen collaboration. You create clear frameworks and working agreements, so that employees know what is expected of them and experience the space to take ownership. In doing so, you make a difference with your leadership. You know how to bring people along during changes, engage in dialogue when necessary, and dare to make choices. You combine a coaching approach with clarity and result-orientation. This allows you to translate ambitions into concrete improvements that are not only implemented but also sustainably secured.

You work closely with clinical physicists, other team leaders, the manager, and internal and external partners. Together, you build an Instrumentation Service in which craftsmanship, responsibility, collaboration, and innovation are central.

• Building structure and clarity. You ensure clear roles, responsibilities, and working agreements. You bring focus and create clarity regarding priorities and expectations.

• Actually realizing change. You translate the department's development challenge into concrete actions and improvements. You involve employees, make bottlenecks and resistance discussable, and ensure that new ways of working become part of daily practice.

• Ensuring reliable technical services. You manage the proper management and maintenance of medical-technical equipment and the effective handling of malfunctions, maintenance issues, and technical requests.

• Stimulating innovation and customization. You provide space for technical innovation and help realize appropriate solutions when existing equipment or standard solutions are insufficient.

You bring structure where it is needed, challenge existing ways of working, and help a team take steps forward together.
