Do you want to help clients discover what is possible during intensive trauma or recovery treatment? At the Intensive Treatment Unit (IBA) of the Sinai Centrum, you will work from a solution-oriented approach with clients with (complex) PTSD. You provide structure and safety, but above all, perspective. Together with a dedicated multidisciplinary team, you create an environment in which clients can work towards recovery step by step.

What will you do?
As a nurse in the Intensive Treatment Unit (IBA), you support clients during an intensive three-week treatment trajectory. You work together with nurses, group leaders, a peer worker, and practitioners. The program consists of individual trauma-processing treatments and an intensive daily program with various therapeutic and recovery-oriented activities. Additionally, the unit has approximately five beds for recovery admissions, where focus may be on stabilization, rediscovering personal strength, or medication adjustment, for example.

Within your role, you are close to the clients throughout the day and support them in their therapeutic process. In doing so, you always look from a solution-oriented vision at what someone can do and what is needed to take a next step. You monitor group dynamics, contribute to a safe treatment climate, and work closely with the other disciplines within the team.

Your duties include

• monitoring and supporting group dynamics and creating a safe and structured treatment environment;
• contributing to treatment plans and signaling plans;
• participating in multidisciplinary consultations regarding clients;
• the safe administration of medication;
• delivering group modules, such as the self-care module;
• supporting practitioners during various group modules;
• conducting individual conversations with clients;
• undertaking activities together with clients, such as walking, creative activities, games, and eating together;
• participating in supervision, intervision, moral deliberation, and clinical lessons;
• contributing to projects and quality improvements within the unit.

What do you bring?
You are optimistic, accessible, and know how to keep an eye on what is possible even during intensive treatment trajectories. From your solution-oriented attitude, you stimulate and motivate clients to take steps in their recovery. You are confident in yourself, but at the same time know how to offer closeness and trust. Additionally, you enjoy working together, are curious, and find it important to continue developing yourself. You also like to contribute actively to quality improvement and new developments within the unit.
