Long-Term Care Nurse

Are you already familiar with all the benefits of working as a nurse with both psychiatry and somatics? You not only contribute to sustainable care in the daily lives of our clients, but the Sinai Centrum also invests in you! Curious about all the benefits? Apply today!

What are you going to do?
You will work with elderly and vulnerable clients with psychiatric health issues who have become long-term care dependent due to their psychosocial disabilities. Much attention is paid to maintaining what they are still able to do, and emphasis is placed on healthy behavior. This is done in the form of providing daily structure and activation. For example, you motivate clients so that they participate in the daily activities that are organized.

The department has a large proportion of Jewish residents and a Jewish atmosphere. This is reflected, among other things, in attention to Jewish holidays and following Jewish traditions, such as kosher food and Shabbat. Candles are lit to welcome the Shabbat. Afterwards, the blessing is spoken over the wine and over specially braided bread—challah.

Your duties as a nurse

• You provide general daily care. A portion of our clients are self-reliant, and you only support them in their daily care.
• You perform nursing technical procedures.
• You monitor the daily structure together with your colleagues and you provide supportive treatment in the form of conversation.
• As a nurse, you look further to see what a client is still capable of and provide support in this.
• Supervising students.

''Working with this target group never becomes boring because of their life stories. The older people get, the more complex problems arise on the psychological and somatic level. This makes it all the more interesting for you as a nurse in what you can offer clients.''
