A meaningful role for a medical assistant looking for depth and breadth in her work.

A vacancy has arisen in our organization for the position of expertise development officer for the cervical cancer screening program (immediately, 16-24 hours per week).

You are working—or have worked—as a medical assistant and you are proficient in performing Pap smears. You seek depth and breadth in your work and you enjoy further training your fellow medical assistants in performing Pap smears and telling them everything about the screening programs. Are we looking for you? Then read on quickly...

In this role, you will shape and provide content to the quality and uniformity of cervical cancer screening. You will be working at Bevolkingsonderzoek Nederland. In the Netherlands, we have three cancer screening programs: breast cancer, cervical cancer, and colorectal cancer screening. Bevolkingsonderzoek Nederland is responsible for the execution, a national organization that was established in January 2022 through a merger of five regional organizations. The RIVM is our client.

Through the cervical cancer screening program, we look at whether women aged 30 to 60 have a risk of cervical cancer. By being early, cervical cancer can be prevented. We invite approximately 600,000 women annually for the screening. To perform the cervical cancer screening (BMHK), we collaborate with general practitioners to perform a Pap smear.

The execution of this Pap smear must comply with the nationally set guidelines and the professional standards regarding the screening programs. Collaboration with general practices plays an important role in improving the quality and efficiency of this screening program. The cervical cancer screening program is undergoing several developments; because of this, even more attention to the quality of the Pap smear in the coming years is of great importance.

You will join a pool of experts where, in your role, the emphasis lies on expertise development for the cervical cancer screening program. You enjoy working with your colleagues, but working independently also suits you well. From your role, you provide training to medical assistants about the cervical cancer screening program, both online and live on location. You participate in projects in which you transfer and apply your knowledge and quality in practice. You identify any bottlenecks in the quality of execution. You propose improvements for this and you ensure good training materials. You also give presentations at, among others, vocational (mbo) training programs for medical assistants, almost throughout the Netherlands. You enjoy this! You like standing before a group and you can speak enthusiastically about our organization and our special, meaningful work. You maintain your network within schools and in other places (think also of fairs and other events where you ensure our organization is visible). This part of your work is, by the way, broader than just the cervical cancer screening program. In addition, you are also a contact person for external contacts and clients with questions about the cervical cancer screening program. People find you easily!

We are a learning organization! We are continuously in motion (it can always be better!), we embrace innovation and change, and that is something that suits you well.

Also good to know: Hybrid working is possible in this position! You combine working from home with working at one of our six office locations in the Netherlands. This will be coordinated in mutual consultation. Most training sessions take place in the evening hours. Both online and at various locations in the Netherlands. That is exactly what appeals to you in this position!

• You have at least an mbo level of work and thought;

• You are resourceful and organizationally sensitive;

• You act quickly;

• You are highly skilled in communication;

• You are good at public speaking and presenting, and you also enjoy doing it;

• You have strong oral and written expression skills;
