Imagine: you walk onto your ward and see a client taking a small step forward, something that seemed impossible just yesterday. You are there, guiding, observing, and providing confidence. Together with your team, you create an environment where people feel safe and rebuild their lives step by step.

This is not about checklists or standard procedures. It is about real progress, about people getting a second chance, and about the impact you can make every single day.

That is exactly what fellow nurse Don experiences:

"Society often only sees the offense, but there is actually a person behind it with an entire history."

That perspective on the client, as a human being with their own story, is part of how we work here.

What will you do?
You start the day with a short handover, in which the team discusses what needs attention. After that, you guide clients in their daily care, observe how they are doing, and engage in conversations that help them move forward. You adjust nursing and guidance plans where necessary.

You perform nursing actions, such as medication administration and somatic examinations, provide support during difficult-to-understand behavior, and provide psycho-education. In this way, you help maintain a safe and stable living environment.

The team you work in is multidisciplinary: alongside you as a nurse, there is, among others, a group leader, a psychiatrist, a (clinical) psychologist, and a nurse trainee. Together, the team ensures that the client feels seen and supported.

Care continues day and night. We work in different shifts to guarantee 24/7 care:

• Day shift: 07:00 - 15:00
• Mid-shift: 10:00 - 18:00
• Evening shift: 14:30 - 22:30
• Night shift: 22:15 - 07:00

By distributing these shifts fairly, we ensure continuity and quality, and the team can always rely on one another.
