Requirements

What we're looking for

  • You are a BIG-registered HBO Nurse or you have completed an SPH or Social Work education
  • You have knowledge and experience with MBT or are willing to deepen your knowledge in this area

Nice to have

  • You have an affinity and preferably experience in working with persons with personality disorders

The role

As a sociotherapist within the MBT team, you will guide and support patients with personality disorders and challenges regarding emotion regulation and persistent patterns in contact with others. You help them gain insight into their own behavior, emotions, and patterns, so that they learn to better deal with themselves and others. Together with the patient, you work on treatment goals that contribute to recovery and personal growth.

Within the part-time treatment, you work with patients who follow an intensive treatment program for several sessions per week. As a sociotherapist, you guide patients in strengthening their ability to better understand themselves and others, precisely at moments when tension, emotions, or interpersonal challenges increase. You offer both individual guidance and group treatment and help patients to reflect on feelings, thoughts, and behavioral patterns that become visible within the treatment and in daily life.

You utilize daily interactions and group processes as important learning moments and create a safe, curious, and non-judgmental environment in which patients can practice new ways of interacting with themselves and others. In doing so, you stimulate reflection, emotion regulation, and the development of more insight into relational patterns.

What awaits you

  • A unique opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to specialist care for patients with complex personality disorders
  • Working within our team offers a beautiful combination of multidisciplinary work and a high degree of independence
  • The possibility to make an important and versatile contribution to our part-time treatment
  • Naturally, we ensure that you have the right tools to start working with MBT
  • Sufficient opportunities to continue developing yourself in your role and function as a sociotherapist
  • Employment conditions in accordance with the GGZ collective labor agreement (CAO), with a salary in FWG 50 from € 3,560.00 to € 4,716.00 gross per month based on full-time employment
  • An annual balance budget of € 1,000.00 gross (pro rata to your employment), which you can use in a way that suits your work-life balance
  • An employment contract for one year, with a view to permanent employment

Your input

  • You are a committed, collegial, and empathetic colleague who can reflect well on your own work
  • You are stimulating and coaching towards the patients when experimenting with new behavior, flexibility, humor, and creativity
  • You are independent and you work proactively

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 serious psychiatric disorders. At home, at the outpatient clinic, day treatment, or during admission to the clinic. Also in case of crisis, we are there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

With us, you can make a difference and we actively commit ourselves to specialist recovery-supporting 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

You will be working within the part-time MBT team in Leeuwarden, a close-knit and passionate multidisciplinary team in which collaboration, expertise, and personal attention are central. The team consists of, among others, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, sociotherapists, psychomotor therapists, a psychiatrist, and a creative therapist. From each person's own expertise, we work closely together on the treatment and recovery of patients with personality and emotion regulation problems. The lines are short, there is room for consultation, and colleagues are there for one another.

Within our team, we work according to the principles of MBT, a specialist form of treatment that helps people to better understand themselves and others from feelings, thoughts, needs, and intentions. When tension increases, this ability can come under pressure, which can lead to misunderstandings, intense emotions, and problems in relationships. Within the treatment, we support patients in strengthening their mentalizing ability, so that they gain more control over emotions, can better deal with tensions, and connect more firmly with themselves and their environment.
