As a GZ psychologist within Van Andel Ouderenpsychiatrie, you work with elderly people facing complex psychiatric issues, often in combination with cognitive and social challenges. It is precisely this intertwining of factors that makes the field fascinating and requires a broad perspective and close collaboration with colleagues, loved ones, and network partners.

You hold a central role in the diagnostics, treatment, and guidance of patients and act as a lead practitioner within our outpatient team, working both outreach-based and from the outpatient clinic. You draw up treatment plans, carry out treatments, and actively involve the patient's support system in the recovery process. You treat both elderly people with long-term psychiatric complaints and patients in whom these issues have arisen later in life.

In addition to your duties as a practitioner, you make an active contribution to the substantive development of the team and the range of treatments offered. You coach and advise colleagues based on your expertise, participate in multidisciplinary consultations, and contribute to innovation, quality improvement, and professional development.

Within Van Andel Ouderenpsychiatrie, we work in a recovery-oriented and person-centered manner. We do not only look at the complaints, but specifically at what is meaningful to the patient and how we can contribute together to maintaining or improving their quality of life. In doing so, we work closely with family, loved ones, and chain partners, such as general practitioners, home care organizations, and social community teams.

• A meaningful position in which you contribute to the well-being, resilience, and quality of life of the elderly
• A varied working environment with room for your own initiative, professional development, and substantive depth
• The opportunity to further specialize within geriatric psychiatry and actively help build the development of the team and the range of treatments
• Professional space, responsibility, and an active role in the further development of care provision within Van Andel Ouderenpsychiatrie

• You are focused on collaboration and knowledge sharing and enjoy bringing colleagues along in new insights and developments
• You are a true team player who takes responsibility and does not shy away from complex cases

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.
