The role

Some people do not ask for help, even though they desperately need it. They avoid care, lose trust in institutions, or become increasingly stuck in psychiatric issues, addiction, or social exclusion. That is exactly where your work begins.

Within the Care Access Team, you will work outreach-oriented with clients who often remain out of sight. More than half of these individuals are homeless. You do not wait for someone to come forward, but actively seek contact: at home, on the street, in shelters, or somewhere in the neighborhood. You build trust step by step and help clients find their way back to appropriate mental healthcare (GGZ).

What you'll do

What will you do?
As a master psychologist, you will be part of an enthusiastic, entrepreneurial team of SPVs, psychiatrists, and physician assistants. Your tasks include:

Being responsible for diagnostic screening, primarily of young adults;
Performing the initial diagnostics in collaboration with a psychiatrist and SPV;
Providing secondary prevention through the offering of modules;
Intervening with people who do not have an immediate request for help.

Depending on competencies and interests, we will further define the scope of your activities within the team in consultation with you.

We offer you

Additionally, a number of attractive employment conditions from Arkin:

What do you bring?
You are socially skilled, stress-resistant, and assertive. You are flexible, energetic, and have an affinity for working in an outreach-oriented and multidisciplinary team.
Additionally, we require:

A completed Master's degree in Psychology or Mental Health;
Possession of a LOGO statement and/or a statement regarding prior education requirements and diagnostics statement, or a BIZ;
Affinity with outreach care (bemoizorg).

Providing a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is part of our application procedure.

About Arkin

Industry: Mental Health

In their own words

About the company & team

Working at Care Access
Care Access is there for Amsterdammers in a vulnerable position involving (a suspicion of) a psychiatric disorder, whether or not in combination with an addiction problem. Due to care-avoidant behavior or the lack of a request for help that aligns with the existing range of treatments, these Amsterdammers do not enter regular care.

Care Access performs psychiatric diagnostics and, if necessary, directs people toward psychiatric treatment, or seeks connection with the GP (or POH-ggz) or institutions outside of mental healthcare. With a broad perspective, Care Access moves within and outside of mental healthcare, at the intersection of care and the social domain. We are available for consultation and (outreach) psychiatric diagnostics. We conduct consultations at home, in social shelters, drop-in facilities, community centers, and at Arkin locations. After all, our vision is that accessible mental healthcare is a necessity, and that we are a flexible link between non-mental healthcare and (specialist) mental healthcare providers. Care Access does what is necessary, as briefly as possible and as long as needed, and sees 350 to 400 clients per year.

Care Access is part of Spoedeisende Psychiatrie Amsterdam, 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.
