Generalist Orthopedagogue Youth in The Hague

Youz, specialist care for youth and family, is looking for a generalist orthopedagogue for the outpatient clinic in Voorburg (Jacob van den Eyndestraat).

Are you a generalist orthopedagogue and do you want to apply your expertise to children and adolescents with complex trauma and attachment issues? Do you enjoy working together with parents, families, and colleagues on specialist treatments and do you want to contribute to the further development of care? Then we would love to meet you!

At our outpatient clinic in Voorburg, you offer specialist and highly specialist diagnostics and treatment to children and adolescents from 0 to 18 years old and their parents or caregivers. The focus lies on complex trauma and attachment issues. You look beyond the individual request for help and actively involve the family and the environment in the treatment.

Your duties include

• performing intakes, diagnostics, and specialist treatments;
• taking direction over treatment trajectories and monitoring the progress and quality of care;
• drafting, evaluating, and adjusting treatment plans, in collaboration with the child, the parents, and involved practitioners;
• participating in multidisciplinary consultation and collaborating with internal and external chain partners;
• contributing to the further development of the treatment offerings of the Voorburg outpatient clinic.

You will join a dedicated and expert multidisciplinary team in which various expertises come together. There is room for individual initiative, substantive depth, and professional development.

Within the treatment offerings, work is carried out using, among other things, trauma-oriented interventions such as EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), system-oriented treatments, and body- and experience-oriented therapies. Diagnostics and treatment of young children from 0 to 6 years old and their parents or caregivers also form part of the care offering.

Together with your colleagues, you work on recovery, strengthening the resilience of children and families, and increasing their possibilities to function as independently and normally as possible.

You are a dedicated practitioner who works independently, but also actively seeks out collaboration. You have an eye for the developmental stage of the child, the dynamics within the family, and the influence of profound experiences on daily functioning.

Additionally:

• you have graduated as a generalist orthopedagogue and are BIG-registered;
• you have an affinity with complex trauma and attachment issues, preferably supplemented with relevant work experience;
• you work from a systemic vision and involve parents, caregivers, and the network in the treatment;
• you are analytical, flexible, stress-resistant, and solution-oriented;
• you like to contribute to the substantive development of the team and the quality of care.

A positive Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) is required. Checking diplomas and verifying references may be part of the application procedure.
