Indigo is looking for a mental health practice assistant (POH-GGZ) for the location in Krommenie.

Do you want to apply your expertise in a versatile role where you truly make a difference for patients and the GP practice? Then this position is for you.

Indigo is a specialist in generalist mental healthcare and offers low-threshold assistance to people with psychological and psychosocial complaints. As a POH-GGZ, you support the GP in their role as gatekeeper within mental healthcare when providing care to patients with diverse mental health needs. In doing so, you focus primarily on clarifying requests and providing short-term guidance.

You work under the ultimate responsibility of the GP and also receive operational direction from the GP.

• you make home visits where necessary;
• you offer short interventions to empower clients to find their own strength again;
• you actively maintain contact with other healthcare providers in the neighborhood, including neighborhood teams;
• you handle the reporting in the HIS (General Practitioner Information System).

You have knowledge of commonly used treatment methods and interventions, such as solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, self-help models, and e-health. Additionally, you are entrepreneurial, think in terms of possibilities, and know how to bridge the connection between the GP practice and mental healthcare.

• 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 12 hours per week;
• a salary between € 4,000.- and € 5,294.- (FWG 55) based on a 36-hour work week;
