As Department Manager PMC & Rheumatology, you are responsible for parts of the Psychomedical Center as well as the Rheumatology department. The Psychomedical Center (PMC) provides care to patients with, among other things, mood, anxiety, and psychosomatic issues. Multidisciplinary teams work closely together on appropriate, cohesive care. The PMC consists of an outpatient clinic, day treatment, intensive home care, and the Medical Psychiatric Unit. Here, psychiatric and somatic care come together. As a result, the patient is central and receives treatment that connects seamlessly to both mental and physical health. Within PMC, you have a fellow department manager with whom you work closely.

In addition to PMC, the Rheumatology department also falls within your area of focus. The department combines medical treatment and long-term guidance for sometimes acute, but often chronic, complaints with a strong focus on care innovation and science. This takes place in close cooperation with the University of Twente. You lead 13 employees from the outpatient clinic and research department and work together with eight rheumatologists and several AIOS (medical residents).

You provide direction to change processes, connect organizational development with team development, and bring employees along in changes.

The combination of these two departments makes the position broad and dynamic. This gives you the space to further shape appropriate care and respond to changing healthcare demands.

You are a strong management sparring partner and work closely with the medical manager on substantive and organizational issues. The connection between medical substantive leadership and business operations is therefore an important part of the role.

• A connecting, organizationally sensitive leadership style and the ability to switch between operations, tactics, and strategy;

• Clear communication, decisiveness, and natural leadership with which you motivate, coach, and empower professionals.
