Coordinating Lead Practitioner SPV in the Netherlands

As a social psychiatric nurse, do you want to make a difference in your client's world? At Parnassia Noord-Holland, you work in the community and support clients in their recovery, right where daily life takes place. You combine independent work with the expertise of a dedicated multidisciplinary team. For our community teams in Castricum, Midden-Kennemerland, Zaanstreek, and Waterland, we are looking for SPVs who want to be close to their clients and take the lead in complex treatments. Together, we will look at which target group and which team suit you best.

As a coordinating lead practitioner and SPV, you treat and guide adults and/or the elderly with severe psychiatric problems. You meet clients in their own environment, which gives you insight into what is happening in their daily lives. What is going well? What challenges is someone facing? And what support helps them move forward again?

You contribute to intakes and diagnostics, coordinate the treatment, and remain actively involved in the care. Together with your client, loved ones, and other involved healthcare providers, you work on recovery, self-management, and maintaining or regaining independence.

In your community-based work, you are given the space to act independently. At the same time, as a professional, you are never alone: within your multidisciplinary team, lines of communication are short and you can consult quickly in complex situations.

• You identify changes in the psychological and social situation of your client and take timely action.
• You involve loved ones and other caregivers in the treatment and coordinate the care between them.
• You help clients deal with vulnerabilities and take steps in their daily lives.
• You contribute ideas regarding the development of the community care offering and help implement improvements in practice.
• You deepen your knowledge on subjects that interest you, for example through courses or further training.

You know how important it is to stand by someone when recovery takes time. You connect with your client's world, listen, and ask follow-up questions. You see what someone can do themselves and where support is needed. In doing so, you dare to change your approach if the situation calls for it.

• You enjoy working independently, actively seek collaboration, and feel at home in a team where you can openly share your ideas and doubts.
• You have completed training as a social psychiatric nurse and are BIG-registered.
• You work in a recovery-oriented manner and involve your client's network in the treatment.
• You maintain an overview when a situation changes unexpectedly.
• You also see the small steps that can mean a lot to a client.
