Medical Assistant

Are you a qualified medical assistant looking for a varied position? Do you like working independently, flexibly within a medical team, and do you have an affinity for caring for people with an intellectual disability? Then we are looking for you! With us, you get the chance to truly contribute to the puzzle of optimal medical care for our clients.

The Medical Nursing Service (MVD) Noordoost region is part of the Expertise Center of Ipse de Bruggen. The locations for the medical assistant are Zwammerdam and Waddinxveen. We offer a dynamic workplace where you collaborate with various disciplines; medical secretaries, medical assistants, practice nurses, GPs, doctors for people with intellectual disabilities (VG doctors), VG doctors in training, and junior doctors.

As a medical assistant, you are responsible for the medical support for clients with an intellectual disability. You perform effective telephone triage, manage the calendars of GPs and VG doctors, organize consultation hours, and assist during GP consultations. Additionally, you perform tasks including, among others: checking and flushing ears, measuring blood pressure, removing sutures, injecting (intramuscular and subcutaneous), urine checks, and wound care. The medical service is a self-managing team in which various team roles are fulfilled. Examples of these are ICT, finance, and quality of care. Everyone participates in a team role.

What makes our work so fun? There is plenty of room for new ideas and interprofessional collaboration without hierarchy. Together, we are committed to providing the best possible medical care for our clients. You can express your creativity and are encouraged to think 'out-of-the-box'. This is how we help clients for whom a visit to the doctor is stressful, or who do not well understand what is happening. Together with the support staff, you try to clarify over the phone what is going on, so that the client receives the right care.
