Behavioral Scientist Specialist Outpatient Treatment

At Behandelcentrum Middenweg, part of Ipse de Bruggen, we offer specialist treatment to adults with a mild intellectual disability (MID), psychiatric issues, and severely disruptive behavior. We operate at the intersection of disability care, psychiatry, and forensic care, focusing on clients for whom regular treatments have yielded insufficient results.

Within our outpatient treatment team, we provide specialist third-line treatment for people with complex and often long-term issues. Many clients already have a long treatment history behind them. Precisely when previous trajectories have not helped sufficiently, we work together with the client and their environment to seek new possibilities for recovery, development, and a sustainable future perspective.

Our conviction is that everyone, no matter how complex the situation, deserves opportunities to rebuild control and confidence in life.

As a psychologist or educational psychologist, you will be part of our outpatient treatment team in the The Hague region. You will work closely with clients, their networks, and various chain partners toward sustainable treatment results. In doing so, you will combine the flexibility of working from home and office work with appointments on location, close to the client and their living environment.

Your job as a behavioral scientist specialist outpatient treatment

As a behavioral scientist, you are an important substantive driving force within our multidisciplinary treatment team. You investigate, analyze, and connect. Together with colleagues, you seek explanations for complex behavioral and psychiatric issues and translate these into treatment that truly makes a difference.

You work closely with case managers, co-therapists, lead therapists, a physician (VG), psychiatrists, and operational managers. In doing so, you take a central role in diagnostics, treatment coordination, and the substantive support of colleagues. Your expertise helps the team remain sharp and offers clients the best possible treatment.

Depending on your interests and experience, you will also be given the space to contribute ideas regarding innovation, training, scientific research, or the further development of treatment methodologies.

This position is ideally suited for professionals who gain energy from complex issues and substantive depth. You will work with clients for whom regular treatment trajectories have often proven insufficiently appropriate. Precisely because of this, the work requires a broad perspective, specialist knowledge, and intensive collaboration.

You move daily at the intersection of disability care, psychiatry, and forensic care. No single case is the same. This makes the work challenging, but also offers plenty of room to apply your expertise, develop further, and be truly meaningful.
