The role
Are you an experienced nurse who feels at home in acute psychiatry? Do you get energy from complex situations, switching gears quickly, and providing care at the moments when clients need it most? Then HIC Nieuwe Meer might be the place for you.
In our emergency clinic, you will work with clients with a severe psychiatric disorder (SPD) who are in an acute crisis. We are looking for experienced nurses who know how to combine their clinical expertise with personal attention and good psychiatric care. You maintain an overview when tension rises, dare to make decisions, and know when to act, set boundaries, or conversely, provide space.
No two situations are the same. It is precisely the dynamics, the complexity, and the intensity of the work that make HIC Nieuwe Meer a place where your experience and nursing expertise truly shine. Together with your colleagues, you ensure safety, stability, and the best possible foundation for recovery. In addition, person-centered care is central: you always look at what the client needs at that moment and how you can provide appropriate care and support from the perspective of acute psychiatry.
Our HIC departments are a specialized emergency environment: short admissions, high intensity, with a strong focus on psychiatric care, safety, stabilization, and recovery.
What you'll do
- Guides clients in crisis, stabilization, and recovery;
- Works in a de-escalating manner and according to the HIC methodology;
- Monitors structure and safety, without losing sight of the client's autonomy;
- Observes and signals changes in behavior and mood and translates these into appropriate care;
- Works intensively with practitioners, nurses, and sociotherapists;
- Contributes to a warm, professional, and safe living environment.
- You switch easily: from supporting a client with severe dysregulation on the HIC+ to stimulating independence on the Medium Care.

What will you do?
You will join an enthusiastic and strong team, in which you always work together and support one another.

Working with us
Mentrum offers short-intensive and long-term psychiatric care to adult Amsterdammers with a (severe) psychiatric disorder. Mentrum stands for care for those who need it most.
In Kliniek Mentrum De Nieuwe Meer, clinical care is provided to clients with a Severe Psychiatric Disorder (SPD+). This issue is sometimes accompanied by addiction, a mild intellectual disability, and/or disruptive social-societal circumstances.
