The role

Are you an experienced group leader who stands firm in your shoes and enjoys working within acute psychiatry? Do you want to contribute to good psychiatric care for clients in a severe crisis? Then we are looking for you!

On the ICU department of the Emergency Clinic, you will guide clients in severe psychiatric crisis together with your colleagues. You provide structure, safety, and proximity at the moments when clients need it most. You know how to handle complex and sometimes unpredictable situations and remain calm and professional even under pressure.

As a group leader, you play an important role within the daily care and guidance of clients. You work with a recovery focus, have an eye for the person behind the psychiatric issues, and contribute together with your colleagues to a safe and professional environment.

No shift is the same. It is precisely that variety, the intensive collaboration, and the direct contact with clients that make the work on our ICU department special and meaningful.

What are you going to do?
As a group leader on the ICU department, you are part of a close-knit and committed care team. You are never alone: you work together intensively, support one another, and collectively bear responsibility for the care, guidance, and safety on the ward.

On the ICU department, you guide clients with severe psychiatric issues, who are often in an acute crisis. Admissions are short but intensive. Together with your colleagues, you do everything possible to stabilize clients so that they can transition to an appropriate follow-up location for further treatment.

Safety, structure, recovery, and good psychiatric care are central to this.

What you'll do

In your work:

You guide clients during acute psychiatric crisis situations and provide appropriate care and support;
You provide structure, clarity, and predictability;
You conduct supportive and motivating conversations that contribute to recovery;
You observe behavior and symptoms and respond to changes if necessary;
You work closely with involved disciplines, such as psychiatrists, doctors, psychologists, nurses, and outpatient teams;
You think along about treatment, policy, and further care surrounding the client;
You support clients in the daily following of the treatment and activity offerings on the ward and possibly beyond;
You work in a de-escalating manner and are constantly in dialogue with your colleagues about appropriate care and guidance;
You are consciously engaged in stimulating self-management and recovery in clients;
You report your observations and client specifics every shift, so that the continuity of care is well-assured;
You guide clients during care-coordination conversations.
