Requirements

What we're looking for

  • You are a BIG-registered nurse
  • You possess good somatic knowledge and skills and are able to identify changes in the physical health of patients in a timely manner and act adequately upon them
  • 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

Nice to have

  • It is a plus if you have knowledge of the combination of LVB (severe behavioral disorders) with mental healthcare issues
  • You get joy from making real contact with our patients and can remain patient while striving for the small steps made with the patients

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 Mental Healthcare (GGZ) nurse at the Clinical Follow-up Treatment, also known as KVB, you will provide care and support to patients with severe psychiatric disorders together with your colleagues. You work according to the recovery vision of GGZ Friesland and, in addition to guidance, you provide nursing care. Furthermore, you possess sufficient somatic knowledge to identify physical health problems, perform nursing observations, and take appropriate action where necessary. You encourage patients to do as much as possible themselves, with the goal of maintaining or increasing their self-reliance.

Lankwert is an open ward with two different accommodation options: the studios and the bungalows. You will be working at bungalow 14. Patients who deal with somatic issues in addition to their psychiatric vulnerability reside here. This requires intensive guidance, nursing care, and attention to both the psychological and physical well-being of the patient. For a number of patients, you are the first point of contact, and you are the one who coordinates the care surrounding them. You maintain close contact with the patient, their family, and the practitioners to properly coordinate the care and the follow-up process. Additionally, you actively contribute to the development of the ward by thinking along about translating the recovery vision into daily practice.

What you'll do

  • A dynamic working environment, where no two days are the same
  • Close cooperation with practitioners to optimally implement care plans
  • The possibility to work 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.

In their own words

About the company & team

We offer treatment and guidance based on the recovery vision to adults with severe psychiatric disorders who have become stuck in regular care. Approximately 65 patients reside at our location, divided across four sub-wards. In the studios, patients work under guidance on their recovery, independence, and return to society. In the bungalows, patients with both psychiatric and physical issues live, who require intensive guidance and a clear daily structure. Together with your colleagues, you ensure a safe, structured, and recovery-oriented environment.

Our ward stands for warm care and guidance. Together with the patient, we look at possibilities to participate in social life and we stimulate the maintenance of social contacts, with the higher goal of maintaining and, where possible, improving quality of life. Within our team, there is a collegial atmosphere with shared responsibility for the care of the patients.
