The role

Do you want to work as a geriatric psychiatry nurse in a clinic and make a real impact? You will support elderly people with psychiatric issues and contribute to stability, safety, and recovery.

What will you be doing?
As a geriatric psychiatry nurse, you will work in a clinical setting where no two days are the same. You observe, guide, and ensure peace and safety on the ward (it is NOT a nursing home). You react quickly to changes and work together with colleagues on the client's recovery.

You work at a geriatric clinic within mental healthcare, where you offer intensive care to clients with complex psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. In this setting, you have a lot of contact with clients and follow their recovery process closely. You provide structure and safety in the ward and continuously switch between guidance, care, and acting in crisis situations.

Together with practitioners and colleagues, you work closely on appropriate care, while simultaneously receiving the space to further develop yourself within the GGZ.

Arkin Ouderen is one of the 11 specialties of Arkin. Together, we are the expert in the field of psychiatry and addiction care. Together, we advocate for the mental resilience of our clients.

What you'll do

Observing and clinical reasoning;
Conducting conversations with clients;
Guiding daily functioning;
Acting in crisis situations;
Implementing care plans.

What do you bring?

As a nurse, you are stress-resistant and committed. You are flexibly deployable for day, evening, night, and weekend shifts. Finally, you have an affinity with the elderly.

In addition, you possess:

An MBO or HBO nursing diploma;
A BIG registration;
Experience within psychiatry is a plus!

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