How fantastic would it be to have influence over your own schedule AND make a difference in mental healthcare? Sounds like a dream, right? At Arkin's Flexpool, this is reality. As a group leader, you combine the security of a professional organization with the flexibility to take control of your own schedule. And in doing so, you truly make a difference, both for the clients and for the permanent colleagues.

Why choose the Flexpool?
Because you want control over your work.
You work at different locations and within various specialties of Arkin, such as Jellinek (addiction care), Mentrum (complex psychiatry), Inforsa (forensic psychiatry), Sinai (trauma care), etc. As a result, you develop yourself incredibly fast, build a broad network, and discover which target group or department suits you best.

What will you be doing?
As a group leader, you will guide, stimulate, and motivate clients in their activities of daily living and social activities. With your experience within mental healthcare, you will make a professional contribution to the treatment of our various target groups. Together with your colleagues, you will observe and evaluate clients and provide them with the care that fits within the treatment plan.

In your role as a flex employee, you work across various specialties and departments. You support the teams where the continuity of care is under pressure. This gives you an important and unique role within the organization. From your broad experience, knowledge, and professionalism, you provide an active contribution within the permanent team and ensure that care can continue. Because you visit many different departments, working as a flex employee offers a unique opportunity to get to know mental healthcare better and more broadly.

As a group leader, you are deployable across all our departments and preferably work a certain number of shifts per week. We work with an app in which you can choose and schedule your own shifts regarding times and locations. This gives you control over your own schedule and availability.
