What do you bring?
You are a psychiatrist who stands firmly in your shoes and functions well in a dynamic environment. You possess excellent communication skills and know how to connect clients, colleagues, and chain partners. Additionally, you get energy from collaborating, sharing knowledge, and mentoring professionals in training. You are curious about new developments, like to contribute to team development, and feel at home within acute psychiatry.
The role
Do you want to work as a psychiatrist at the intersection of acute psychiatry, recovery-oriented care, and innovation? At Mentrum, you will get the chance to help build a renewed clinic where the integration of the TOA ensures a new way of treating within the Amsterdam emergency chain. Are you ready for a role with impact, complex cases, and plenty of room for professional development? Then we would love to meet you.
What will you do?
A major development is central within the clinic on the 1e Constantijn Huygensstraat. The Temporary Bridge Department (TOA) is being integrated within the clinic, creating a renewed structure for acute psychiatric care. As a psychiatrist, you will play an important role in this transition and actively contribute to the further development of treatment processes and care pathways.
You work in a clinic for short-term acute psychiatric care, in the heart of Amsterdam. The client population is diverse and complex, consisting of people with acute psychiatric dysregulation, often combined with addiction issues, developmental issues, socio-economic problems, and/or an intellectual disability. Together with seven fellow psychiatrists and a multidisciplinary treatment team, you are responsible for high-quality acute care within the Amsterdam crisis chain. Thanks to the vertical way of working, you follow clients throughout their entire clinical trajectory, which ensures continuity and fewer handover moments.
What you'll do
- Directing diagnostics and treatment policy;
- Treating clients within acute admission wards, ICU, closed, and open wards;
- Acting as the lead practitioner throughout the entire clinical trajectory;
- Being involved in Wvggz procedures;
- Thinking along about outpatient follow-up care and recovery-oriented treatment trajectories;
- Collaborating within multidisciplinary treatment teams;
- Contributing to the training and supervision of resident doctors and medical students;
- Providing education;
- Participating as on-call staff within the clinical emergency pool;
- Participating in Arkin-wide activities such as committees, education, and policy development.

About the company & team
A Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) is a fixed part of our application procedure.
Working at Mentrum
The clinic on the 1e Constantijn Huygensstraat has 92 clinical beds divided across several departments, including an open ward, a closed ward, an ICU ward, a women's ward, the TOA, and a ward for young adults. Approximately 70% of the clients are involuntarily admitted, and a significant portion has not had contact with mental health care before.
With the integration of the TOA, a new structure for acute care is emerging, in which collaboration within the Amsterdam crisis chain is further strengthened. This offers plenty of room to think along about care innovation, treatment development, and recovery-oriented care. Additionally, Mentrum is a teaching clinic where scientific research, education, and professional development hold an important place.
Mentrum 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.
Additional information
At Arkin, we embrace diversity and strive for an inclusive culture in which we bring out the best in each other. Read more about our vision on D&I under 'about us'.
We prefer to look for new colleagues ourselves; we find that much more personal. Therefore, recruitment through agencies is not appreciated.
