The role
Imagine: a client takes a small step forward, something that seemed impossible yesterday. You are there, observing, guiding, and providing confidence. Together with your team, you ensure an environment in which clients feel safe and make progress step by step.
On the Long-term Intensive Care (LIZ) unit, you work with clients who became stuck elsewhere in their treatment. This involves people with severe psychiatric disorders, interpersonal problems, and insecure attachment.
What makes this care special is our specific approach focused on behavior and relationships. We combine safety, development, and recovery. In this way, clients work step by step toward their personal goals, strengthen their skills, and build a more stable future. This allows them to work towards an appropriate next step within a less intensive care setting or regular mental healthcare (GGZ). From the beginning, we also actively involve loved ones and the referring party in the treatment.
"If you truly seek the challenge and want to make the lives of people who are already starting from behind easier, then I would like to welcome you as a colleague at Inforsa." says Mitchel, fellow nurse.
What you'll do
A day on the LIZ begins with a short handover. Together with the team, you discuss which clients need extra attention and what is important for the day. During the morning, you guide clients through their daily care and activities. You pay attention to small changes in how they feel or behave.
You administer medication, perform physical examinations, and support necessary diagnostics or therapies. You also talk with clients and practice with them how to better manage stress or learn new skills. You remain alert to changes in their well-being and coordinate with colleagues where necessary, so that clients receive the right support and a stable and safe environment remains for everyone.
The multidisciplinary team consists of a psychiatrist, physician, psychologist in training, nurses, caregivers, and social workers. Together, you discuss observations and draw up treatment plans that align with the needs and developmental goals of the client.
Care continues day and night. We work in irregular shifts to guarantee 24/7 care:
By distributing these shifts fairly, we ensure continuity and quality of care, and the team can always rely on one another.
How you'll work
- Day shift: 07:00 - 15:00
- Mid-shift: 10:00 - 18:00
- Evening shift: 14:30 - 22:30
- Night shift: 22:15 - 07:00
We offer you
Additionally, a number of attractive employment conditions from Arkin:
What do you bring?
We are looking for a nurse who remains calm in tense situations and can act clearly when things become busy or unpredictable. You dare to make decisions within the team and can set boundaries with clients in a respectful manner.
Experience in psychiatry is not a hard requirement. What counts is that you are curious, willing to learn, and continue to develop in a specialist environment. Together with colleagues, you discover what clients need and how you can best contribute to their recovery.
Working at Inforsa
Inforsa is the expert in the field of very serious (forensic) psychiatric
problems, often in combination with addiction. In addition, there is often
disruption and/or offending behavior. Every client is unique. Our starting
point is: what can someone do? At Inforsa, we work together to create
perspective for the client, their loved ones, and society. That perspective
often begins with small steps. Dignity and safety come first. Where necessary,
we dare to look further. That requires courage and trust in the client, their
loved ones, and in each other's expertise. Together, we work towards dignified
and safe care.
Want to know more about this vacancy?
Do you feel this work suits you? Then apply quickly via the application button! Would you prefer to hear more about the position by phone first? Our recruiter Elsbeth van Damme is ready to help you. We would love to hear from you!
You can apply as long as the vacancy is online. Once we have welcomed a new colleague, the vacancy will be closed.
We prefer to look for new colleagues ourselves, as we find that more personal. Acquisition is therefore not appreciated.
