Nursing Specialist Support & Recovery – North

Work as a nursing specialist in Amsterdam-Noord and, together with clients, take the step towards more independence, recovery, and self-management.

For our Support & Recovery (S&R) team in Amsterdam-Noord, we are looking for a nursing specialist who enjoys working at the intersection of specialist mental healthcare, recovery, and the daily lives of clients. You will be given the space to work independently as a lead practitioner, build your own caseload, and simultaneously play an important substantive role within the nursing team.

Amsterdam-Noord is a dynamic and versatile district with a great diversity of people, neighborhoods, and lifestyles. It is precisely that diversity that makes the work interesting. You will get to know the neighborhood and its possibilities well and, together with clients, look at what support is needed to further shape their recovery. In doing so, the emphasis is increasingly placed on what someone can and wants to do themselves, with support from the community where possible.

The care provided is primarily given to clients who have received intensive help within the SGGZ for a period of time and have completed this, but who occasionally still need someone to fall back on. Transitioning to S&R is a kind of 'promotion' to less intensive treatment, where literally more space for recovery is created and old patterns and the period of illness can be let go. Due to this change, recovery sometimes becomes literally more visible. S&R focuses strongly on the self-management of clients and, if necessary, support from the community.

What will you do?
Working as a nursing specialist at Support and Recovery (S&R) means you have the role of lead practitioner with your own caseload. Additionally, you will lead the nursing team and contribute ideas regarding team developments to improve the quality of care. You will work closely with FACT teams and other departments within Arkin.

You prescribe medication and monitor (side) effects and lab results. You conduct the annual treatment plan discussion with clients and ensure somatic screenings are completed.
