Job Description

CoNNectum

You will work within CoNNectum, outpatient geriatrics, part of our center for social and neuropsychiatry for adults and the elderly. Within Geriatric Psychiatry, we offer research, advice, treatment, and guidance. We do this as much as possible outpatient and, when necessary, in combination with other forms of treatment.

Aging brings changes. Psychological complaints are rarely isolated in this process. Our clients may deal with psychiatric issues in combination with, for example, cognitive, physical, and social factors. It is precisely that interconnection that makes working within geriatric psychiatry interesting and challenging.

In the elderly, various life domains and problems converge. This requires clinical reasoning, creativity, and the ability to view a client from different perspectives.

We find it important that you truly make contact. Not just looking at what is no longer possible, but specifically investigating together what is possible and what someone needs to maintain as much control over their own life as possible.

As a Nurse Practitioner, you also participate in the 24/7 crisis service and work on-call shifts.
