FACT Youth Nurse

As a nurse, do you want to work in mental healthcare with young people facing complex psychiatric issues and social challenges?
For the FACT Youth team West in Amsterdam, we are looking for a committed nurse (HBO/Bachelor's) who is confident in their role and wants to make a difference in the lives of young people between the ages of 14 and 24.

In this role, you do not work from a clinic, but rather right in the middle of the young person's living environment. You provide intensive, outpatient care and play an important role in the recovery process. No two days are the same: you constantly switch between guidance, treatment, and crisis management, while collaborating within a multidisciplinary team.

What will you do?
As a nurse within the FACT Youth team, you are responsible for your own caseload and act as a lead practitioner (case manager). You work intensively with young people who often face multiple problems simultaneously, such as psychiatric complaints, school dropout, addiction, or family issues.

Within FACT, you work flexibly: the intensity of care is adjusted to what the young person needs. This makes the work dynamic and substantively challenging.

• Guiding and treating young people with severe psychiatric disorders;
• Developing, implementing, and evaluating treatment plans;
• Conducting intake interviews and maintaining contact with the network (parents, school, care providers);
• Outreach work: you actively go to the young person (home, school, neighborhood);
• Identifying risks and intervening timely in crisis situations;
• Collaborating within a multidisciplinary team including psychiatrists, psychologists, and other practitioners;
• Supporting young people in recovery across various life domains (housing, work, education, social relationships).

Additionally, a number of attractive employment conditions from Arkin:

What do you bring?
You are a committed and decisive professional with a heart for youth. You work independently, but know when coordination is needed and switch easily with colleagues and chain partners. In crisis situations, you remain calm and goal-oriented. You think in solutions, maintain an overview, and feel at home in the dynamics of outpatient and outreach FACT work.

Furthermore, you bring

• A Bachelor's degree (HBO) in Nursing and BIG registration;
• At least 2 years of work experience in the nursing field, preferably in mental healthcare and outpatient settings;
• Experience with FACT óf the motivation to further develop yourself in this;
• Experience with youth, the EPA target group, and conducting systemic conversations.

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