Parnassia offers specialist treatment to adults and the elderly with complex mental health problems. For the Clinical Center for the Elderly (KCO) in The Hague, we are looking for a transfer nurse.

The KCO is a specialist inpatient ward for elderly people with complex psychiatric, somatic, and cognitive issues. Here, clients are admitted temporarily for crisis intervention, diagnostics, and treatment. From the moment of admission, you think along about appropriate care after discharge. Together with the client, relatives, and the multidisciplinary team, you map out the care needs and organize appropriate follow-up care, at home or in another residential or treatment location. In doing so, you maintain control over the transfer process and work under the responsibility of the lead practitioner.

• you advise colleagues and chain partners on complex aftercare questions and maintain relevant contacts;
• you coordinate the discharge and handover process and coordinate this with the involved healthcare providers and chain partners;
• you contribute to improving work agreements, protocols, and knowledge sharing within the team.

You are flexible and stress-resistant and know how to maintain an overview even in a dynamic working environment. Planning and organizing come naturally to you, you take initiative, and you communicate with colleagues in a timely manner when necessary. With your service-oriented attitude, eye for the client, and sense of professional boundaries, you contribute to appropriate care.
