Nursing Support and Recovery

Sometimes intensive treatment is no longer necessary, but a familiar face and a helping hand are of great value. As an Outpatient Nurse or SPV within Support & Recovery, you guide clients in the phase in which they increasingly take control of their own lives. You help them to build confidence, make their own choices, and create space for recovery and a meaningful life.

As a nurse, do you want to make a difference at the exact moment someone starts looking forward again? Then our East and West locations would love to meet you.

What will you do?
O&H is a part of Mentrum Ambulant. Our team consists of nurses, nurse practitioners, and consulting psychiatrists. We offer care to clients who have completed a period of intensive guidance within the SGGZ, but for whom a low-frequency form of support is still helpful.

Transitioning to O&H can be seen as a step towards more independence and recovery. Through the decrease in treatment intensity, space is created to shift the focus from illness to recovery, participation, and self-management. It is precisely in this phase that progress often becomes visible.

Within O&H, we work in a recovery-oriented manner and according to the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We help clients lead a meaningful life, despite lasting vulnerabilities, that fits their own values and goals. Additionally, O&H focuses strongly on the self-management of clients, with support from their network or the community where necessary. We offer goal-oriented, high-quality care to a diverse and relatively complex target group, ranging from short-term guidance to long-term support.

Our services form an important link between specialist mental healthcare (GGZ) treatment, FACT care, and the GP. Therefore, we work closely with FACT teams and other specialties within Arkin. We strive for flexible scaling up and down of care, so that clients receive the support they need at the right moment.

As a nurse in this team, your duties include:

• Developing and implementing treatment plans together with the client, their system, and the lead practitioner.
• Observing clients, recording signals, and reporting.
• Performing co-treatments and providing psycho-education.
• Providing guidance and advice regarding the living situation of clients and their loved ones.
• Providing medication and performing reserved medical acts.
• Acting quickly in acute situations and involving the appropriate professionals.

Additionally, a number of attractive employment conditions from Arkin:

• Are a BIG-registered HBO-nurse;
• HBO diploma in social psychiatric nursing;
• Have experience dealing with the EPA target group;
• Have the ability to make decisions independently or to consult in a timely manner;

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