SPV - Geriatric Psychiatry

As a social psychiatric nurse at Van Andel Geriatric Psychiatry in Drachten, you will be closely involved in the treatment of elderly and often vulnerable patients with diverse psychiatric issues. From the start of the treatment process, you will investigate together with the patient what is of value to them in daily life. In doing so, perspective, trust, and self-management are central. You support patients in dealing with permanent vulnerabilities and help them to lead as meaningful and independent a life as possible, despite the challenges they experience.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team and actively participate in joint consultations. Additionally, you fulfill an important role in the referral process. You conduct and coordinate intakes in collaboration with the lead practitioners and apply your expertise to complex treatment trajectories of patients with multiple problems, both in the outpatient clinic and in the home setting. You also work closely with various chain partners, such as social community teams, home care organizations, and general practitioners. In this way, you contribute to an integrated approach that aligns with the needs of the patient.

• Variety in your work, because you have your own management role in the triad
• Working with the elderly target group, involving psychiatric issues often in conjunction with somatic complaints and limiting psychosocial circumstances
• Plenty of space, responsibility, and the chance to do what you are truly good at
• Employment conditions in accordance with CAO GGZ, classification in FWG 55, min. € 4,000.- max. € 5,294.- based on full-time employment
• Balance budget of € 1,000.00 per year with full-time employment
• Personal training budget for accreditation purposes, of € 2,000.- per year
• An employment contract for one year, with a view to permanent employment
• Plenty of opportunities to develop specific expertise
• Working within a professional and driven multidisciplinary 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, as 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 above all with the patient and their loved ones.
