The role

A modern working environment, a solid target group, a great team, and real work that matters. At Inforsa in Amsterdam, you won't 'just' be providing security. Here, you will work in a forensic psychiatric clinic with, among others, individuals under TBS (court-ordered psychiatric treatment). You are part of the care process and the safety net. We are looking for colleagues who are professional, alert, and human.

Your workplace
You will work at a security level 3 location in Amsterdam. The new lodge (currently under renovation) will be equipped with the most modern equipment such as X-ray, detection gates, and smart cameras. Everything to enable you to do your work effectively and safely.

Together with your colleagues, both from the security team and the healthcare staff, you form the heart of safety in the clinic. You will work in a 24/7 roster, in which you keep each other sharp and can always count on your team. What will you do?

No two days are the same. But your focus remains: safety, structure, and professional conduct, with an eye for the human being behind the situation.

What you'll do

  • You are responsible for implementing the access policy for employees, clients, visitors, and suppliers;
  • Working with detection systems such as detection gates, X-ray, and the CCTV system;
  • Searching and frisking;
  • Conducting patrol rounds;
  • Performing signaling tasks and taking action where necessary;
  • You are the pivot between the emergency services and our BHV (Emergency Response) organization;
  • Contributing to safety, but also to peace and respect on the ward.

We offer you

What do you bring?
You are a security officer who knows what they are doing. You remain calm, even when things get tense. You dare to take action, but always with respect. And you have an eye for safety and the human being behind the behavior.

You are someone who:

  • Possession of a Security Diploma (required);
  • Having a valid BHV certificate, or being willing to obtain this in the short term;
  • Accustomed to working in unpredictable situations and finding your calm within them;
  • Communicates respectfully and clearly;
  • Understands the importance of both safety and recovery and maintains the right balance between them;
  • Works systematically, can observe well, and reports exactly what you see
  • Knowledge of Microsoft Office is a plus;
  • Remains physically fit and mentally sharp, also during evening, night, and weekend shifts.

Do you already have experience in forensic care, psychiatry, or a judicial environment? Then that is a great advantage. But even if you do not have that experience yet, but you feel that this work suits you: we would love to hear from you.

Working at Inforsa
Inforsa is the expert in the field of very serious (forensic) psychiatric issues, often in combination with addiction. Additionally, there is often disruption and/or criminal behavior. Every client is unique. Our starting point is: what can someone do? At Inforsa, we work together on a perspective for the client, their loved ones, and society. That perspective often begins with small steps. Dignity and safety come first. We dare to look further where necessary. That requires courage and trust in the client, loved ones, and in each other's expertise. Together we work towards dignified and safe care.
