Department Manager Emergency Psychiatry Kennemerland / Intensive Home Treatment

Emergency Psychiatry Kennemerland (SPK) is available 24 hours a day for clients in crisis situations. In addition to crisis assessments, the team offers short-term crisis treatment with the aim of preventing or shortening psychiatric admissions.

We receive referrals from GPs, urgent care centers/ERs, mental health professionals, and relatives for acute assessments and crisis interventions. Treatment is carried out according to the Intensive Home Treatment (IHT) methodology, in which clients are treated in their own living environment as much as possible. The treatment is shaped through home visits, frequent contact, and intensive short-term (day) treatment.

You will work in a multidisciplinary team consisting of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, medical doctors, triage specialists, and outpatient nurses/support workers. Additionally, we work intensively with chain partners such as the police, military police, municipalities, GPs, and other healthcare institutions.

Your duties include

• Managing, coaching, and facilitating the teams within the SPK/IHT.

• Monitoring the quality, continuity, and efficiency of care delivery.

• Bearing responsibility for HR-related issues, finances, and operational processes.

• Maintaining and strengthening internal and regional collaborations regarding the inflow, throughput, and outflow of clients.

• Contributing to the cluster-wide annual plan and realizing improvement and development trajectories.

• Translating strategic policy into daily practice in collaboration with practitioners and other stakeholders.

• Guiding change processes and participating in organization-wide projects.

• Creating a work environment in which professionals are given space to develop and contribute to innovation in care.

• A challenging management position within a dynamic and socially relevant healthcare environment.

• Initially, you will be offered employment for a duration of one year. 

• Employment of 32 to 36 hours per week.

• A professional work environment in which collaboration, development, and quality of care are central.

• The opportunity to make a direct contribution to acute psychiatric care in the Kennemerland region.
