What will you do?
In forensic outpatient care, you work with a complex target group, but above all with extraordinary people. People who are often going through a difficult period, sometimes entering treatment due to compulsion or urge, and who allow us as a team into their lives. We come to them as guests. That requires courage, curiosity, and the ability to look beyond behavior that can sometimes be impressive or intense.

You are the lead practitioner of your own caseload with all associated responsibilities. In this role, the caseload will primarily consist of FACT clients and, to a lesser extent, outpatient clinic clients. You connect with clients on an equal footing, precisely because you look beyond the diagnosis from your nursing perspective.

You work in a multidisciplinary, professional team with short lines, much knowledge exchange, and room to continue developing yourself. They know what they stand for and why they do it together, and reflection, humor, and collaboration form the foundation. As a colleague beautifully described it: "The FAZ is the Champions League of mental healthcare. Highly complex, but incredibly fun and dynamic."

Looking beyond the label
"In this work, you sometimes notice that a door closes as soon as you say you come from forensic outpatient care. That is why our bridging function is so valuable: we connect regular care, forensic care, and especially the human being behind the behavior. Forensic is ultimately nothing more than a label, just like mental healthcare. We choose to look through it. Together, we take the responsibility to guide someone back towards a dignified life. We walk alongside them, build trust, and let them feel that they are worth the effort." Nurse Practitioner, Hilversum Team.

You apply your medical, psychological, and nursing expertise when prescribing medication within your competence, and you will be given plenty of room to grow in this. Additionally, you will handle somatic diagnostics: sometimes a quick check, sometimes more extensive investigation. Exactly what the situation requires.

• You dare, look broadly, and remain curious about the human being behind the behavior.
• You maintain course in complex situations and bring others along with you.
• You enjoy collaborating, address colleagues as equals, and are open to reflection.
• You have stamina, can maintain perspective, and remain clear in the sometimes chaotic FACT practice.

Every client is unique. Our starting point is: what *can* someone do? At Inforsa, we work together on perspective for the client, their loved ones, and society. That perspective often begins with small steps. Dignity and safety come first. We dare to look further when necessary. That requires courage and trust in the client, loved ones, and in each other's expertise. Together we work on dignified and safe care.

The FAZ teams offer high-quality treatments based on our history in forensic addiction care. In doing so, we have made a unique combination by integrating the forensic outpatient and FACT teams. This creates more room for innovation and creativity with the goal: preventing and reducing recidivism.
