• Employment conditions in accordance with CAO GGZ, classification in FWG 55, min. € 4,000.- max. € 5,294.- based on full-time employment

As a social psychiatric nurse, or SPV, at the Forensic Psychiatry outpatient clinic, you are closely involved in the guidance and treatment of patients with both forensic and psychiatric issues. You play an active role in the exploration of how someone arrived at offending behavior and how this can be prevented as much as possible in the future. In doing so, you will deal with complex cases where the focus of the treatment lies on preventing offending behavior. You form an important link between the patient, their network, the team, and other stakeholders, while carrying responsibility for your own caseload.

You have an important task during the intake phase, namely establishing contact with the patient, relatives, referrers, and chain partners regarding the desired and potentially appropriate care. As a primary practitioner, you are also involved in diagnostics. You draw up the treatment plan and incorporate current insights from the field into this process. You also implement the treatment plan, evaluate progress, and coordinate execution in consultation with those involved, including the lead practitioner. During your daily activities, you work closely with our chain partners such as probation organizations, PI Leeuwarden, police, VNN, and social support organizations. You ensure that the patient file is kept in order and offer consultation to healthcare providers within and outside the organization.

Various group treatments are provided at the Outpatient Clinic. As an SPV, you can participate in these, such as "Grip on yourself" (Grip op jezelf). You may also have more outreach tasks, such as with the Friese Aanpak Huiselijk Geweld (FAHG) referrals. In our work, we find it important to look systemically and therefore we like to involve the family, the network, and the system in the treatment.

• A workplace in which the SPV function is firmly established, where you are allowed to learn and share your knowledge
• The space to implement your ideas regarding the improvement of our treatment
• A workplace involving complex cases, but where you tackle these together with the team
• A team in which systemic working is well-embedded
• We attach great importance to "state of the art" working and the continuous development of our range of treatments
• Employment contract for one year with a view to an indefinite period

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 patient and his or her relatives.
