The role

Contribute as a nurse to the first steps towards recovery from addiction for our clients. You will do this in our High Care Detox clinic in Amsterdam with a team of over 30 nurses and medical specialists. Every substance has its own withdrawal symptoms and every client has their own behavior and addiction triggers, which means you will never stop learning as a nurse.

What you'll do

Together with a team of nurses and other medical specialists, you will guide our clients through the withdrawal process. These are the first steps towards recovery from addiction. You will do this in a pleasant team with an open and cheerful atmosphere. You will work with a diverse target group ranging from young to old with various backgrounds.

''What makes my work so special is that you truly get to know the people behind the addiction. ''

What will you do?

Janneke, High Care Detox nurse -

Providing a safe environment and undertaking activities, such as having breakfast together or walking.
Conducting motivational interviewing with the client.
Providing tools and coping mechanisms, so that someone can remain substance-free for as long as possible.
Providing psycho-education and modules such as safe group.

At the High Care Detox, we work with different shifts: the day shift from 7:30 to 16:00, the evening shift from 14:30 to 23:00, and the night shift from 22:45 to 07:45. An important advantage is that we work with 'meeroosteren' (collaborative scheduling), which means you can coordinate your own schedule together with colleagues and have influence over it yourself.

We offer you

What do you bring?
You look beyond the addiction and primarily see the person sitting in front of you. You make contact easily, sense well what someone needs, and know how to motivate people in a positive way, especially at moments when things are difficult. In acute situations, you keep a cool head, act quickly, and actively seek cooperation with your colleagues.

Do you not yet have experience within mental healthcare (GGZ) or addiction care? No problem. We find it especially important that you are curious, want to learn, and want to be there for our clients.

We would love to meet you if you:

you have an MBO or HBO diploma in Nursing;
you are BIG-registered;
you are willing to work irregular shifts (ORT). These are part of the job and are part of your profession.

A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is a fixed part of our application procedure, so that together we ensure a safe and reliable working environment.

Want to know more about this vacancy?
For more information, you can call or send a message via WhatsApp to our recruiter Thijs van Woudenberg at 06-21550646. He is ready to tell you more and answer any questions.

You can respond as long as the vacancy is online. Once we have welcomed a new colleague, the vacancy will be closed.

At Arkin, we embrace diversity and strive for an inclusive culture in which we bring out the best in each other. Read more about our vision on D&I under 'about us'.

We prefer to look for new colleagues ourselves; we find that much more personal. Therefore, recruitment agencies are not appreciated.
