Anesthesia Technician Neuromodulation Amsterdam

Are you an experienced anesthesia technician and do you want to contribute to specialist care within mental healthcare? As an anesthesia technician, you play a crucial role within the team, supporting clients during repetitive ECT treatments. You monitor vital functions and ensure a safe and professional environment. This involves early shifts, which means you start early and also finish early. The work-life balance on the department is very good as a result.
This concerns employment of 8 to 16 hours per week. The shifts take place on Mondays and Thursdays.

• Providing information and reassurance to clients prior to the treatment.

• Supervising compliance with protocols and guidelines.

• The clients being treated with ECT are often seriously psychiatrically and somatically ill or weakened and require intensive guidance during the treatment and afterwards. GGZ inGeest provides a complete treatment trajectory from registration and indication to follow-up and long-term aftercare.
