Do you get energy from acute psychiatry, variety, and working at the moment it matters most? As a nurse at Spoedeisende Psychiatrie Amsterdam (SPA), you will be broadly deployed: from the dispatch center to the community, and from crisis intervention to outpatient guidance. Together with a multidisciplinary team, you provide specialist care to Amsterdammers who urgently need it at that moment.

Within SPA, you can work as a nurse in the following areas:

From the dispatch center, you will also go into the community for crisis assessments, intakes, and acute interventions.

Outpatient Crisis Care (IHT)
In the community, you provide intensive care to clients in a psychiatric crisis. You work according to the acute psychiatry care standard and the IHT methodology (Intensive Home Treatment).

ACT - Assertive Community Treatment
Within ACT, you work with clients who require long-term, intensive support. This often concerns people with severe psychiatric and social problems, sometimes without a fixed place of residence, and regularly in crisis situations.

Spoedeisende Psychiatrie Amsterdam (SPA) offers 24/7 first aid to youths and adults with (very) severe acute problems in the psychological, psychosocial, and psychopathopathological fields, whether or not in combination with addiction.

What will you be doing?
You will work with clients with complex issues, such as severe psychiatry, addiction, social disruption, (imminent) homelessness, and the risk of danger to themselves or others. Sometimes this involves voluntary care, and sometimes care within the framework of the Wvggz.

Crisis Service & Dispatch Center
The dispatch center is the beating heart of SPA. Acute reports come in here 24/7.

• You assess reports for urgency and deploy appropriate interventions;
• Liaising with referrers, chain partners, and colleagues;
• You decide together on follow-up steps, whether voluntary or compulsory.
• Visiting clients at home or on location;
• You carry out intakes and crisis interventions and draw up treatment and signaling plans;
• Working to prevent or shorten hospitalizations.
• You work in an outreach and proactive manner;
• Providing intensive guidance and treatment on location;
• You provide support with housing, finances, and social relationships;
• Remaining involved, even when care is refused;
• You work with a focus on recovery and in collaboration with the client's network.

As a nurse, you possess a curious and empathetic attitude towards clients and colleagues. You can switch gears quickly, know how to prioritize well, and are flexibly deployable for evening, night, and weekend shifts. Finally, you have an affinity for acute psychiatry and possess a healthy dose of courage.
