Group Facilitator Detox and Diagnostics

Nine weeks to truly get to know someone. As a group facilitator at VADIS, you provide structure and safety, build a bond, and look beyond the addiction. You guide clients in their daily lives, observe behavior, and share your findings with the treatment team. In this way, you contribute to a complete picture of the client and appropriate follow-up treatment.

What will you be doing?
At VADIS, clients stay for nine weeks. The first two weeks focus on medically supervised detox. After that, we investigate what issues are present alongside the addiction and which treatment is appropriate.

That longer length of stay makes your work special. You see clients in different phases of their admission and learn to recognize their behavior and patterns. What changes when someone settles down? How does contact with others proceed? And what is noticeable in mood or self-care? Your observations help the treatment team to obtain a more complete picture of the client.

• Facilitating: you build a bond of trust, support clients individually and in groups, and guide the daily program. You offer structure, clarity, and stability in daily life.
• Observing and signaling: you recognize changes in behavior, mood, self-care, and contact with others. You describe what you see and discuss this with the treatment team.
• Contributing to diagnostics: your observations help practitioners to better understand the underlying issues. Based on all the information, the practitioners make the diagnostic and treatment-related considerations.
• Ensuring peace and safety: you provide stability and remain calm during conflicts, tension, or unexpected situations.

You work with a diverse target group, from young to old, with varying requests for help and possible underlying issues. Because of this, no admission is the same and every client requires a different approach.

You work in a multidisciplinary team with group facilitators, nurses, addiction physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, and ANIOS. Together, you discuss observations and experiences. The practitioners use this information to shape the diagnostics and determine which care and follow-up steps are appropriate.

Care on the ward continues day and night. We work in irregular shifts to guarantee 24/7 care:

• Day shift: 07:30 - 16:00
• Evening shift: 14:30 - 23:00
• Night shift: 22:45 - 07:45

With multi-scheduling, you have influence over your own schedule. By distributing the above shifts fairly, we ensure continuity and quality, and the team can always rely on one another.

In consultation, it is possible to also work in other departments within Jellinek, for example at High Care Detox, Medium Care Detox, or the clinical treatment departments.

What do you bring?
You see the person behind the addiction, make contact easily, and listen without judgment. You communicate clearly, are flexible, and know how to switch gears even in difficult situations. Together with your colleagues, you look at what someone needs to move forward.

Experience in mental healthcare or addiction care is not necessary.

We would love to receive your application when you:

• You have completed a relevant mbo-4 education, such as SPW or MMZ, or a comparable education.
• You are prepared to work irregular shifts, including evenings and weekends.

A Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) is a standard part of our application procedure, so that together we ensure a safe and reliable working environment.
