On the high & intensive care (HIC) unit, you stand at the heart of crisis situations, where your commitment and decisions have a direct influence on the recovery of clients. Ready for a challenging and educational experience? Then read on quickly!

As of December 1, 2026, we are looking for a general practitioner for our HIC. Would you like more information first or to get to know the department better? A shadowing day is one of the possibilities.

Emergis is a social organization for mental health and well-being in Zeeland. Every year, we help approximately 13,000 children, young people, adults, and seniors with mental health issues in the broadest sense. We do this together with about 1,400 employees on-site, ambulatory, and digitally. We work from the philosophy of Positive Health, where the emphasis lies on people's resilience and on what makes life meaningful.

The HIC is one of the crisis departments within the acute mental health clinic, where treatment and guidance are central. The department provides care to clients with severe psychiatric disorders and behavioral problems who pose a danger to themselves or others. The goal is a short-term admission in a protected environment, where coercion and compulsion are prevented as much as possible.

Care on the HIC is provided by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, ward doctors, clinical psychologists, nurse practitioners, doctors in training to become psychiatrists, nurses, caregivers, social workers, peer support workers, family peer support workers, and activity coordinators. The ward accommodates 23 clients, divided between an intensive care unit (for a maximum of three clients) and two high care wards.

As a general practitioner, you play an important role in the recovery of clients. Your main tasks are:

• acting as a practitioner and bearing responsibility for the integrity of the treatment;
• carrying out individual treatments together with the multidisciplinary team and having direct contact with the patient in the context of treatment;
• assessing and ensuring that the activities of other healthcare providers are coordinated with each other and fit within the established treatment plan;
• functioning as a central point of contact for the patient, their family/loved ones, and fellow practitioners;
• intervening in crisis situations;
• participating in the multidisciplinary consultation.

See you soon!
