The role

Do you stand firmly in your shoes and do you want to play a crucial role in acute mental health care as an SPV? At Spoedeisende Psychiatrie Amsterdam (SPA), we are looking for a driven professional who loves dynamism, challenge, and teamwork. Here, you will make a real impact by helping people stabilize in crisis situations and providing the right care. You work independently, but you are never alone.

What will you be doing?
As a Social Psychiatric Nurse at SPA, you are at the heart of acute psychiatric care. SPA operates across various locations in the city: Noord, Centrum, Oud-West, and Zuidoost. This means you work close to the people of Amsterdam, right in the middle of society. The variation between dispatch center work and community care ensures a dynamic role in which no two days are the same.

What you'll do

30% of your time you work in the dispatch center, where you assess, prioritize, and coordinate the influx of crisis situations;
70% of your time you are active in one of our crisis teams, visiting clients in their own environment and assessing the acute issues occurring at that moment;
Carrying out crisis interventions;
Collaborating in a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, community nurses, and other colleagues;
Switching between different work environments and playing a key role in the network surrounding the client.

What do you bring?

As a social psychiatric nurse, you possess an analytical and solution-oriented mindset; you know how to switch quickly and act effectively in acute situations. You have strong communication skills and the ability to provide calm and structure in stressful situations. A good sense of humor is also very welcome!

In addition, you possess:

A HBO-nursing degree and a completed training as a Social Psychiatric Nurse;
A valid BIG registration;
Affinity with metropolitan issues and working with a diverse client population;
Willingness to work irregular shifts, including evening, night, and weekend shifts.

Providing a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) is a standard part of the application procedure.
