• A personal training budget of € 2,000 per year
• Employment conditions in accordance with CAO GGZ, FWG 65, max. € 6,918 gross per month for a full-time employment

Intensive Home Treatment, or IHT, is a form of treatment in which we support young people aged 12 to 18 with severe psychiatric problems who have become stuck or are at risk of becoming stuck. We treat as much as possible within the family and the home environment, focusing on stabilization and recovery.

As an orthopedagogue generalist or GZ psychologist within the IHT Youth team, you have a crucial role in outreach crisis treatment. You are responsible for diagnostics, treatment, and guidance, and you act as the lead practitioner. Additionally, you coordinate part-time treatment and actively contribute ideas regarding the further development of our range of treatments.

You work closely with colleagues and maintain short lines of communication with outpatient and ambulatory treatment facilities for youth and young adults. Crisis treatment can be both a starting point and a temporary component of an ongoing trajectory and requires intensive cooperation with internal and external network partners.

The goal of IHT is to prevent clinical admission. If admission is nevertheless necessary, we ensure that it lasts as short as possible in cooperation with our network partners and then continue the treatment on an ambulatory basis. This makes the work dynamic and varied. In addition to your clinical work, you participate in the on-call service for crisis reports via Spoed4Jeugd during office hours.

• Intensive cooperation with external parties such as schools, neighborhood teams, and fellow mental healthcare (GGZ) institutions
• Plenty of opportunities to further develop yourself within crisis care, with a focus on intensive home treatment, system-oriented working, and acute interventions
• Working in a dynamic setting with complex problems where no two days are the same
• A diverse and multidisciplinary team with various areas of expertise
• Space to create a good work-life balance in consultation
• Plenty of space, freedom, and responsibility to do what you are good at

• You dare to think outside the box in the treatment and guidance of young people
• You want to make a difference together with an enthusiastic and passionate team

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 are actively committed to specialist recovery-supportive care close to the patient. You do not do this alone, but together. Together with your colleagues, with other organizations, but especially WITH the young people, parents, and other involved parties.
