The role
Would you like to work as a psychiatrist in one of the most intensive and specialized treatment settings within forensic mental healthcare? At the High Intensity Secured Care (HIBZ) of Inforsa, you will work with clients in acute psychiatric crisis, where safety, stabilization, and restoring contact are the priorities. Due to the departure of a colleague, we are looking for a psychiatrist who stands firm when complexity is high and wants to make a difference together with the team.
What will you do?
As a psychiatrist in the High Intensity Secured Care (HIBZ), you treat clients with severe psychiatric disorders who are in an acute crisis and exhibit disruptive or escalating behavior. This concerns clients who can temporarily no longer be treated safely within a regular mental healthcare setting or their own living environment. You focus on crisis intervention, stabilization, and restoring contact, with the goal of returning the client to a less intensive treatment setting as quickly as possible.
You work according to the Forensic High & Intensive Care (FHIC) methodology, in which proximity, structure, and clear boundaries are central. Together with, among others, doctors, psychologists, social workers, and nurses, you look at stalled treatments with a fresh perspective. The average length of stay is three to six weeks. The department has a clear daily structure with collective coordination, handovers, and visits. This allows you to work together intensively and there is always room to brainstorm about complex situations.
Working at Inforsa
The High Intensity Secured Care (HIBZ) offers highly specialized, short-term care to clients with severe psychiatric disorders who are in an acute crisis. The treatment focuses on averting escalation, restoring contact, and creating safety. By working intensively with the treatment team, referrers, and follow-up facilities, we work towards a return to a less intensive treatment setting as quickly as possible. Multiple psychiatrists work within the clinic, so there is always room to brainstorm professionally with one another.
What you'll do
- taking charge of treatment plans and deploying psychiatric, psychological, and somatic interventions;
- providing crisis intervention focused on stabilization and restoring contact;
- working intensively within a multidisciplinary treatment team;
- involving loved ones in the treatment wherever possible;
- working from an open and recovery-oriented treatment climate;
- providing clear boundaries during disruptive behavior to create safety for the client and the environment;
- coordinating with referrers and follow-up facilities to ensure continuity of care;
- supervising A(N)IOS and contributing to training and professional development;
- contributing to the further development and innovation of care within the HIBZ.
