Parnassia is looking for a social psychiatric nurse for the geriatric psychiatry team in The Hague.

Are you an enthusiastic and committed social psychiatric nurse who draws energy from complex issues, has an eye for cultural diversity, and maintains an overview with a helicopter view? Then we would love to meet you!

Parnassia offers specialist mental health care to people with complex psychiatric problems and supports them in recovery and increasing their quality of life. As a social psychiatric nurse, you will work within the geriatric psychiatry team, a specialist and multidisciplinary team that focuses on elderly people with cognitive disorders, behavioral problems, and complex psychiatric issues. In geriatric psychiatry, you meet people with a rich life behind them and often complicated challenges in the present. Psychiatric complaints regularly go hand in hand with somatic problems, cognitive changes, and complex dynamics within families and networks. This requires professionals who look beyond the diagnosis alone.

Within this versatile field of work, you fulfill an important role in the coordination and execution of care. You work closely with clients, their loved ones, and colleagues from various disciplines and make an active contribution to recovery, stabilization, and quality of life. In doing so, you keep an eye on both the client and the surrounding system.

As a social psychiatric nurse:

• you perform diagnostics, treatment, and guidance;
• you conduct system and network conversations with clients and their loved ones;
• you coordinate care trajectories and monitor the progress of the treatment;
• you work together with general practitioners, neighborhood teams, nursing and care homes, and other chain partners;
• you offer consultation and advice based on your expertise;
• you signal opportunities, risks, and changes within the treatment process and respond to these proactively.

You are a committed and expert social psychiatric nurse who brings calm to complex situations. You easily connect with clients, loved ones, and colleagues, look beyond the diagnosis, and keep an eye on the person behind the complaints. With your sharp gaze, sense of collaboration, and perspective-giving humor, you know how to offer perspective even in challenging situations. Additionally, you enjoy working multidisciplinarily and maintain an overview.

Furthermore, you are:

• BIG-registered social psychiatric nurse;
• able to reduce complex situations to their core and normalize where possible;
• culturally sensitive and have an eye for different backgrounds, perspectives, and ways of life;
• accustomed to working from a systemic vision and preferably have experience with system-oriented working.

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.
