The role

As a mental health nurse practitioner at the Forensic Outpatient Clinic of GGZ Friesland in Leeuwarden, you will play an important role as a lead practitioner in the treatment of patients with complex psychiatric problems and offending behavior. With your expertise in the field of nursing and medico-psychiatric diagnostics and treatment, you will make an active contribution to recovery and risk reduction.

Together with psychiatrists, psychologists, systemic therapists, and other practitioners, you will work on preventing relapse, reducing risky behavior, and promoting sustainable recovery. You will treat complex cases where psychiatric problems, personality factors, and offending behavior often converge.

Within the Forensic Outpatient Clinic, much attention is paid to treatment innovation and development. Attention is given to scientific research and the implementation of various evidence-based and practice-based treatment methods. This is particularly reflected in the group offerings, such as a schema therapy group for personality issues, "Grip op jezelf" (Grip on yourself) for emotion regulation, a sex offender group, and addiction issues. As a nurse practitioner, you will get the opportunity to deepen your clinical treatment expertise. In recent years, the team has developed strongly in the areas of methodical working, evidence-based treatment, and systemic working.

Due to the substantive developments and ambitions within forensic care, there are also possibilities to combine your activities with our outpatient forensic teams. Here, you can contribute to high-quality specialist care, where your knowledge and expertise as an NP is of great added value.

What awaits you

An expert and committed team that works continuously on improving the quality of care
Challenging work with clients with diverse psychiatric problems in combination with already demonstrated or threatening offending behavior
Plenty of room for personal input, professional development, and innovation
The emphasis on your role as a lead practitioner, whereby you support and coach practitioners where necessary
Participation in the Specialist Staff of nurse practitioners, the advisory body to the Board of Directors

About the company & team

You will join an enthusiastic team with a heart for the target group. We constantly look at how things can be improved and distribute complex cases in a balanced manner. Professionalism, ownership, humor, and job satisfaction go hand in hand. Within the team, you will work together with psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, systemic therapists, sexologists, psychomotor therapists, social psychiatric nurses, GZ psychologists, trajectory coordinators, and social workers. Additionally, we maintain close collaborative relationships with the Forensic FACT teams and the Forensic Psychiatric Department in Franeker. Our base location is Leeuwarden.

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, at the outpatient clinic, in part-time 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 patients, loved ones, and other involved parties.
