Requirements

What we're looking for

  • You have a completed HBO (higher professional education) degree in social work or similar
  • You have an affinity with psychiatry and therefore know better than anyone how to deal flexibly with the various requests for help from patients
  • You find it challenging to work in 24-hour care and therefore enjoy working irregular shifts
  • You get joy from making real contact with our patients and can remain patient while striving for the small steps made with the patients

Nice to have

  • It is a plus if you have knowledge of the combination of LVB (severe behavioral disorders) with GGZ (mental health) issues

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • Employment conditions in accordance with CAO GGZ, classification in FWG 50, min. € 3,560.00 - max. € 4,716.00 - based on full-time employment
  • An irregularity allowance according to CAO GGZ for working irregular shifts
  • Balance budget of € 1,000.00 per year with full-time employment
  • An employment contract for a duration of one year, with a view to a permanent appointment

The role

As a GGZ support worker within Clinical Follow-up Treatment, you support patients with severe psychiatric disorders in their daily lives and recovery process. Based on the recovery vision of GGZ Friesland, you help patients increase their independence, implement structure, and strengthen their autonomy. Together with colleagues, you ensure a safe and stable living environment in which development and trust are central.

Lankwert consists of two types of housing: the studios and the bungalows. For the studios, we are looking for a new colleague. In the studios, you support patients working towards their return to as independent an existence as possible. You support them with practical matters, daily activities, and strengthening social skills. In the bungalows, you support patients who have somatic issues in addition to psychiatric issues and who require intensive guidance and a clear daily structure.

For a number of patients, you are the fixed point of contact and work closely with colleagues, practitioners, and loved ones to coordinate support effectively. Additionally, you make an active contribution to the further development of recovery-oriented care within the department.

What awaits you

  • A dynamic working environment, where no two days are the same
  • Close cooperation with practitioners to optimally implement care plans
  • The possibility to work both in the bungalows or in the studios
  • Opportunities in the field of learning and development, such as attending training sessions and seminars
  • An organization where your commitment and fresh ideas are highly valued and where employees are 'grutsk' about it

About your future employer

We are there for the people who need us most. Annually, at twelve different locations spread throughout Friesland, we offer professional help to more than 12,000 people with severe psychiatric disorders. At home, in the outpatient clinic, day treatment, or during admission to the clinic. We are also there in case of crisis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

With us, you can make a difference, and we actively commit ourselves to specialist recovery-oriented care close to the patient. You do not do this alone, but together. Together with your colleagues, with other organizations, but especially with the patient and his or her loved ones.
