As a mental health nurse practitioner, do you want to be close to your clients and use your expertise in their daily lives? At Parnassia Noord-Holland, you will work within our outpatient teams on recovery, independence, and quality of life. You combine nursing and medical knowledge and are given the space to shape a treatment that aligns with what your client needs. In doing so, you work together with dedicated colleagues who are easy to find. We would love to get to know you for our outpatient teams in Castricum, Midden-Kennemerland, Zaanstreek, and Waterland. Together, we will see which workplace and target group suit you: adults or the elderly.

As a mental health nurse practitioner, you treat and support adults and/or the elderly with severe psychiatric problems. Within an outpatient team, you follow clients while they live at home. You look at their mental and physical health as well as what is happening in their living environment. In this way, you work together on a treatment that aligns with their possibilities, wishes, and daily life.

You are involved from intake to discharge and combine treatment sessions, diagnostics, and medicinal treatment with attention to recovery and self-management. In doing so, you work closely with the client, loved ones, and colleagues from various disciplines. In your role as lead practitioner, you also monitor the coherence and progress of the treatment.

• You conduct treatment sessions on location and, depending on the care demand and the team, at the clients' homes.
• You map out psychological and physical complaints and investigate what these mean for daily functioning.
• Together with the client and the multidisciplinary team, you draw up the treatment plan, evaluate progress, and adjust where necessary.
• You implement appropriate interventions and prescribe medication within your authority.
• You involve loved ones and other involved healthcare providers in the treatment and coordinate care with them.
• You are given the space to work independently and apply your own expertise. At the same time, the lines within your team are short: in a complex situation or a treatment question, you can quickly consult with colleagues.

You make contact easily and are curious about the story behind the complaints. What is important to someone? What can they already do independently? And where is support needed? You stand by your client, even when recovery takes time or proceeds differently than expected.

• You enjoy working independently and actively seek collaboration. You dare to make decisions, are open to other perspectives, and keep your client's personal recovery goals in mind.

Even if you have just graduated, you are very welcome to apply.
