The role

Imagine this: every day, you stand close to people in crisis. People for whom everything has already been tried—except for real contact, real involvement, and truly seeing what is possible. You can make the difference. At the HIBZ, you get the chance to bring safety, recovery, and perspective, in an environment where stabilization, boundaries, and proximity go hand in hand.

What you'll do

As a group leader at the HIBZ, you are an important link in our clients' recovery process. You:

guide clients in crisis: you offer calm, structure, and safety;
work with treatment plans drawn up by the multidisciplinary team (psychiatrist, psychologist, doctor, social worker, nurses), and you are co-responsible for implementation and adjustment;
are constantly alert: you see tension increasing, you act, de-escalation is your tool;
build towards the restoration of contact: listening, being present, gaining trust;
provide boundaries where necessary—clear, honest, and with respect;
work within teams: you consult, reflect, learn, and share;
maintain contact with loved ones/referrers where possible; you see that recovery happens not only in the room, but also with the world around the client.

At High Intensity Secure Care, we work with different shifts: the day shift from 7:00 to 15:00, the evening shift from 14:30 to 22:30, and the night shift from 22:15 to 07:00. Additionally, there are 'mid' shifts from 10:00 to 18:00. Because we provide 24/7 care, we expect you to be available for these irregular shifts, so that together we can guarantee continuity and quality of care.

What is HIBZ?

High Intensity Secure Care offers temporary admission to clients with severe psychiatric problems who exhibit (escalating and) disruptive behavior, and for whom regular treatment wards offer insufficient safety.
We work according to the FHIC methodology: stabilization, restoration of contact, as little coercion as possible, as much trust and connection as possible
Admission usually lasts three to six weeks, with the goal of: proximity, restoring safe contact, and transitioning to a less intensive setting.

We offer you

A varied job in an exciting clinic where you gain experience with the target group that appeals to you;
A one-year contract for 24-36 hours with a permanent contract after 6 or 12 months upon mutual satisfaction;

What do you bring?

We are looking for someone who:

have an agogic education at MBO/HBO level, supplemented by experience in psychiatry, crisis care, or intensive/secure care;
have courage: you dare to engage in contact at moments when it becomes tense; you dare to set boundaries, but also to show vulnerability;
possess well-developed communication skills, empathy, but also decisiveness;
are stress-resistant and remain calm under pressure;
are a self-starter: you see what is needed, you take initiative; but you also enjoy working in a team;
feel the responsibility for safety—of both the client and the environment; but do not lose sight of humanity;
have flexible availability, including irregular shifts.

Working at Inforsa
Inforsa is the expert in the field of very severe (forensic) psychiatric problems, often in combination with addiction. Additionally, there is a matter of disruption and/or criminal behavior. Every client is unique. Our starting point is: what *can* someone do? At Inforsa, we work together on perspective for the client, his/her 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 on dignified and safe care.
