What will you be doing?

As a Physician Assistant, you deploy your broad medical expertise within clinical psychiatric care. You have an eye for both the psychiatric and somatic health of our clients and are therefore an important link within the treatment team.

You work closely with a multidisciplinary team consisting of, among others, a psychiatrist, nurse practitioners, physician, psychologist, PMTs, and nursing teams. Within this team, from your medical expertise, you make an important contribution to diagnostics, treatment, and monitoring the coherence between psychiatric and somatic issues.

Your work includes, among other things, psychiatric and somatic diagnostics, pharmacotherapeutic treatment, and medication checks. You conduct treatment interviews, follow the progress of clients, and adjust the treatment where necessary. In doing so, you work closely with the psychiatrist and the other practitioners within the team. Within the applicable frameworks, you can, as a Physician Assistant, fulfill the role of lead practitioner for a number of admitted clients.

You will become part of a treatment team that is well able to think out of the box and also to execute it. You have a versatile role and receive the opportunity and space to further develop yourself both within psychiatry and within your field of expertise.

In addition to your duties during regular office hours, you participate in on-call services outside of office hours. For this, a roster is drawn up in which you, together with fellow practitioners, ensure availability outside of office hours.

De Opmaat

The clinical wards of De Opmaat are established as crisis intervention, where we work from a client-centered and personal approach with the goal of helping the client regain control over their own life. We give attention and openness to what a crisis and admission mean for someone. We work preventively and de-escalatingly, with a welcoming and client-friendly basic attitude. By working intensively together clinically and ambulantly, we can offer the best support to our clients.

The De Opmaat location in Hengelo consists of a closed ward for Intensive Care (IZ) and three open wards: Medium Care (MZ), the Clinical Treatment Ward (KBA) Admission, and KBA Recovery. Although every ward has its own treatment environment, the cooperation between the wards is close.

As a practitioner, you are primarily connected to one ward, but you are part of a broader multidisciplinary team in which colleagues easily find each other and cover for one another where necessary.

During the interview, we would like to explore together which ward best aligns with your qualities and wishes.

• entrepreneurial, flexible, and creative;
• easy to connect with and a pleasant conversational partner;
• decisive, down-to-earth, and structured;
• analytical;
• someone who can act independently, but also consciously seeks collaboration with other disciplines.
