Social Psychiatric Nurse Basic-GGZ

Indigo is looking for a social psychiatric nurse for the team in Purmerend.

Do you want to help people with long-term psychological complaints maintain stability in their lives? And do you believe that clients themselves want to learn to find the best solutions to their problems? Then read on.

As a social psychiatric nurse, your caseload mainly consists of clients with recurring psychological complaints who are in (partial) remission. Many of these clients have previously completed treatment within specialist GGZ and are generally stable. Within our guidance, the focus lies on maintaining recovery, strengthening self-reliance, and preventing relapse.

For this, we offer our specially developed treatment program 'Veerkracht' (Resilience). In this treatment, the focus is on the recovery of social functioning, personal autonomy, and rediscovering personal strength. Additionally, we are working on the (further) development of the Mental Health Network. In this, we work closely with partners from the social domain and other GGZ providers. Through exploratory conversations, we ensure that clients end up in the right place and receive the care that best aligns with their needs.

In Purmerend, we work intensively with PsyQ, Brijder, and local providers. Thanks to these short lines of communication, we can guide clients more quickly to appropriate care and support.

We are a multidisciplinary team that values collective consultation, coordination, and cooperation. Both with each other and in connection with our management. We are a dynamic, varied, and relatively small team, with a lot of knowledge and experience. That makes working with us pleasant and varied. There is a positive working atmosphere and, alongside hard work, we also make room for socializing, for example during team outings.

The duties

• working from a generalist, short-term treatment model, such as the KOP model by Rijnders, with a focus on positive and solution-oriented treatment;
• providing consultation to colleagues and GPs based on your specific expertise;
• working in an environment-oriented manner, actively establishing contacts, and building a relevant network;
• creating your own caseload by actively networking and collaborating with referrers;
• offering clients recovery-oriented treatment, including relapse prevention, pharmacotherapy, and care coordination.

We are looking for a flexible, entrepreneurial, passionate, and well-organized social psychiatric nurse who can collaborate well. You possess a positive and teachable attitude, in which professional responsibility comes first.

Furthermore, we ask:

• a completed education as a social psychiatric nurse (SPV) and a valid BIG registration;
• work experience as a social psychiatric nurse within GGZ;
• the ability to organize tasks well, independently, and in a structured manner;
• an active attitude in utilizing a broad internal network of expertise and support;
• an independent way of working, combined with the motivation to contribute to the expertise within the team;
• additional training, such as EMDR or other treatment methods, is a plus.

To be eligible for this position, a positive Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is required.
Checking references and verifying diplomas are part of the application procedure.
