The role
As a support worker at our Flex Agency, you will be deployed to various departments within the clinical 24-hour care of GGZ Friesland. These departments are located in Leeuwarden, Franeker, Harlingen, Drachten, and Heerenveen. No two days are the same; one shift you might work in an acute admission ward, the next you might provide support in elderly care or within a long-term treatment setting. In your role, you are there for the patient who needs guidance in finding structure in daily life and you provide stimulation regarding lifestyle and leisure activities. Together with the permanent colleagues of the department, you contribute to a safe, stable, and therapeutic living environment.
Via an app, you can sign yourself up for shifts that suit you best, giving you constant control over your own schedule. This can be on the basis of fixed hours per week, but also on a flexible basis, ideal if you want to combine your work with another job or with your family. Through the recruiters of the Flex Agency, you will have contact regarding the practical matters surrounding your shifts. Additionally, you will of course also have contact with the colleagues and managers of the departments regarding the content of your work.

- You will receive thorough induction, training, and periodic professional development, so that you always possess the right expertise and professionalism to provide optimal care to our patients
- You can respond to internal vacancies, which increases your chances of eventually moving to a permanent department within GGZ Friesland
- Employment conditions according to CAO GGZ, with a grading in FWG 45, min. € 3,180.- and max. € 4,273.- based on full-time employment
- You will receive a (on-call) contract for one year, whereby discussing fixed contract hours is certainly possible
Your input
- You are a graduated HBO-level support worker and have experience or an affinity with psychiatry
- With your knowledge and/or experience, you know how to act in a de-escalating manner and call in help in a timely manner when necessary
- You can deal flexibly with diverse requests for assistance
- You see what needs to be done, take initiative, and pick up tasks independently
- Ideally, you possess a driver's license and your own transport, so that you can easily travel between the different departments

About your future employer
With us, you can make a difference, and we are actively committed to specialist recovery-supporting care close to the patient. You don't do this alone, but together. Together with your colleagues, with other organizations, but especially with the patient and his or her loved ones.
