Gz-psychologist Youth in Arnhem

Youz, specialist care for youth and family, is looking for a Gz-psychologist / Generalist Orthopedagogical Specialist for the children's treatment center clinic of the Leo Kannerhuis in Arnhem

Fascinated by autism? Affinity and experience working with children (up to 14 years old)? Come work as a treatment coordinator for the TOPGGZ institution in the field of autism!

Within the children's treatment center, we offer a differentiated range of treatments for children (up to 13 years old) with complex autism issues and comorbidity. The starting point of the treatment: outpatient where possible, inpatient where necessary. There is intensive collaboration with parents/caregivers, family, schools, and other partners in mental healthcare. The teams are multidisciplinary, allowing you to constantly share knowledge and expertise with one another. We also provide training, which leads to a dynamic and innovative working environment.

In the position of treatment coordinator, you will work in a permanent team with various disciplines, consisting of, among others, a psychiatrist, social worker, systemic therapist, family therapists, behavioral scientists, sociotherapists, specialized therapists, and a nurse practitioner. As a treatment coordinator, you will be linked to a clinical group. You will be surrounded by enthusiastic, collegial, highly expert, and motivated employees.

What else does the position entail?

• You perform intake interviews, together with the lead practitioner.
• You coordinate the treatment and draw up treatment plans
• You conduct advisory interviews and evaluation interviews
• You work closely with other disciplines (internal) and chain partners (external)
• You participate in multidisciplinary consultations, team meetings, and treatment plan discussions
• You are co-responsible for the treatment climate within your team
• You are willing to offer work supervision
• You fulfill on-call duties in accordance with organizational policy
• You contribute to the organizational development of the Children's Treatment Center.
• You contribute to the further development of treatment modules using the latest scientific insights and innovative methods.

We are looking for a treatment coordinator for the clinic. Within the clinical treatment, we strive for a treatment period of 9 months to a year. The treatment program consists of a combination of milieu therapy, training, and (specialized) therapies. In this, the client's system is always intensively and tailor-made involved; think, for example, of parent-child admission and/or parent coaching in the group setting.

The treatment group is physically designed so that part of the building is intended for the clinical treatment of 6 children. The other part is equipped for intensive systemic interventions, such as the admission of the child together with a parent or coaching of parents and child. This offers us the possibility to focus treatment interventions on the child as well as making the child's context part of the treatment.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and curious colleague who wants to puzzle together with children, parents, and a multidisciplinary team to better understand the complex picture of a child. You work carefully and take the time to fathom the origin of the problems and to involve the child, parents, and all important stakeholders in this diagnostic picture and its developmental history (explanatory model). Creative thinking regarding possibilities to restart the development of these children by finding connection with both parents and children is an important skill. Good knowledge of autism and additional psychopathology is a requirement, as well as being able to report your findings both orally and in writing (adapted to clients and/or healthcare professionals). You enjoy offering guidance and advice to colleagues and have an active role during team meetings. You can hold your own well in a dynamic organization and like to take the lead in expanding and consolidating our highly specialized care. You are able to represent and position your department within the larger treatment center, aligning with the overarching policy and the BCK-wide treatment vision.

To be eligible for this position, a positive Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is required.
Checking references, integrity checks via the Healthcare & Welfare Warning Register, and verifying diplomas are part of the application procedure.

We offer:

• a varied and meaningful job in a professional and pleasant working environment where your input is valued;
• a one-year contract with a view to permanent employment for 20-24 hours;
• a salary between € 5294,- and € 6918,- (FWG 65) based on a 36-hour work week;
• pleasant employment conditions in accordance with the GGZ collective labor agreement, with all kinds of nice extras. Click here for more information about our employment conditions.
