• Vervolgkliniek Westerpoort in Bennebroek offers (long-term) treatment to 87 clients with a Severe Psychiatric Disorder (SPD) spread across 4 teams. There are 3 open wards, including 1 ward with 27 HAT homes (apartments). Additionally, there is a (new) closed ward. 

• At Westerpoort, we take the time that is necessary, sometimes several months, to promote recovery. We do not focus solely on symptoms, but pay attention to the person behind them and his or her network. Building a relationship of trust and intensive contact with the client and their loved ones is central. Our quiet, green environment contributes to a sense of safety and well-being. 

• Various recovery facilities such as sports, activities, day programs, treatment, spiritual care, and employment opportunities support the recovery process. We work towards an appropriate and as high as possible achievable discharge, such as independent living or protected/sheltered living.

• Together with the client, you draw up treatment indications and treatment plans and further develop these. Additionally, you provide or coordinate somatic care for clients admitted to our clinics. You manage your own caseload and work closely with the multidisciplinary team and referrers.
