The role

Do you want to support clients with (complex) PTSD during intensive trauma or recovery treatment? As a group leader on the Intensive Treatment Unit (IBA) of the Sinai Centrum, you work from a solution-oriented approach. Not just looking at what is not working, but rather discovering together what is possible. In this way, you provide clients with structure, safety, and confidence during an intensive period in their treatment.

What will you do?
As a group leader on the Intensive Treatment Unit (IBA), you support clients during an intensive three-week treatment program. Together with nurses, other group leaders, an expert by experience, and practitioners, you provide guidance to clients who have experienced many traumatic events and have developed PTSD. The program consists of individual trauma-processing treatments and a daily program with various therapeutic and recovery-oriented activities.

Additionally, there are approximately five beds available within the unit for recovery admissions. In these cases, treatment may focus on, for example, stabilization, rediscovering personal strength, and medication adjustment. As a group leader, you are close to the clients throughout the day and support them in their therapeutic process from a solution-oriented vision. You monitor group dynamics, create structure and safety, and help clients work towards their personal goals step by step.

What you'll do

monitoring and supporting group dynamics and creating a safe and structured treatment environment;
contributing to treatment plans and signaling plans;
participating in multidisciplinary consultations regarding clients;
the safe administration of medication, where necessary after training;
delivering group modules, such as the self-care module;
supporting practitioners during various group modules;
conducting individual conversations with clients;
undertaking activities together with clients, such as walking, creative activities, games, and eating together;
participating in supervision, intervision, moral deliberation, and clinical lessons;
setting up and cooperating on projects within the unit.

In their own words

About the company & team

What do you bring?
You are optimistic, accessible, and know how to maintain calm even in intensive or unexpected situations. From your solution-oriented attitude, you look together with clients at what is possible and encourage them to take steps in their recovery. You can act in a de-escalating manner when tension rises and know how to set clear boundaries at the same time. Additionally, you actively seek collaboration with colleagues, practitioners, and loved ones. You reflect on your own actions, are open to feedback, and find it important to continue developing yourself and the care provided.

Working at Sinai Centrum
The Intensive Treatment Unit (IBA) is located at the Laan van de Helende Meesters in Amstelveen and offers 24-hour care. The unit has 15 beds for clients undergoing intensive PTSD treatment or recovery-oriented admission. From a multidisciplinary team, we offer a full-day program in which clients work on personal goals, stabilization, and recovery.

You will join a driven and committed team in which colleagues work together toward a safe therapeutic treatment climate. There is room to be yourself, to learn from one another, and to rely on each other when necessary. Furthermore, the IBA works intensively with the outpatient clinics and other parts of Arkin to guide clients through their treatment trajectory as well as possible.

Sinai Centrum specializes in the treatment of (complex) PTSD and has extensive experience with psychotrauma resulting from, among other things, war, persecution, early childhood abuse, and other interpersonal violence.

Sinai Centrum is one of the 11 specialties of Arkin. Together, we are the expert in the field of psychiatry and addiction care. Together, we advocate for the mental resilience of our clients.
