Do you want to apply your experience as a psychologist within specialist trauma care for veterans? For our Veterans Intensive Treatment Unit (VIBU) of the Sinai Centrum, we are temporarily looking for a master psychologist who is resilient and will come to strengthen our treatment team for three months.

What will you do?
As a master psychologist, you will work within the Veterans Intensive Treatment Unit (VIBU), an intensive clinical treatment setting for veterans with severe PTSD and comorbid issues. Think of problems in the areas of emotion regulation, aggression, sleep, and substance use.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary treatment team and contribute directly to the treatment program. Among other things, you will perform trauma treatments, intakes, and diagnostics, and guide clients both individually and in group settings.

Within the treatment, we use evidence-based treatment methods, including EMDR, Imaginal Exposure (IE), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Working at Sinai
The Sinai Centrum is an expertise center specialized in the treatment of complex PTSD and psychotrauma, such as those caused by early childhood abuse, war, persecution, and interpersonal violence, including situations within uniformed professions. The center, part of Arkin, has more than 50 years of experience and an original focus on the Jewish target group. Together with Arkin, it is committed to mental resilience and high-quality care.

The VIBU (Veterans Intensive Treatment Unit) provides space for 10 clients for a 12-week treatment program, with trauma processing therapy and dialectical behavior therapy focused on PTSD, emotion regulation, and substance abuse in veterans. The team works closely together to create a decisive therapeutic environment.

Sinai is part of Arkin, and Arkin is the leading Randstad mental healthcare provider with 11 specialisms. Together we are the expert in the field of psychiatry and addiction care. Together, we advocate for the mental resilience of our clients.

Approximately 4,000 committed, driven professionals work at Arkin who dare to stick their necks out. They are continuously looking for tailor-made solutions for their clients. In doing so, quality counts, time and again. We therefore stimulate employees to continuously develop themselves in their field of expertise through extensive training programs. We also encourage employees to develop innovative ideas and work them out in multidisciplinary teams. At Arkin, we believe that innovation is essential to keep care affordable and accessible.

On average, your week consists of:

• three trauma therapy sessions of 90 minutes;
• two CBT sessions focused on substance use;
• two group treatments;
• one intake;
• one diagnostic session;
• participation in treatment and team meetings.

• you are available for 36 hours per week during the period of January through March.

You will receive work supervision from a GZ-psychologist and work closely with the other practitioners within the team.

What do you bring?
The VIBU offers intensive trauma treatment to veterans with complex psychiatric problems. This requires a psychologist who is not easily shaken. You can handle intense stories and complex situations, remain professional when tension rises, and simultaneously know well when you need to consult or need support.
You are open, reflective, and enjoy working together. We also find humor and the ability to maintain perspective important within our team.
