Antes is looking for a nurse for the night shift for the Geriatric Psychiatry inpatient clinic of Behandelcentrum Watermolen in Capelle aan den IJssel.

Are you a nurse who enjoys working the night shift and do you want to contribute to peace, safety, and good care for elderly people with complex psychiatric and somatic issues? Then read on!

Within the Geriatric Psychiatry inpatient clinic, we treat clients aged 65 and older with various psychiatric disorders, such as depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and psychotic disorders. The combination of psychiatric and somatic issues, life-stage questions, and complex home situations makes the work varied and challenging.

As a nurse in the night shift, you provide clients with peace, safety, and the care they need. You work independently on your own ward, where you are responsible for nursing care and guidance during the night. One nurse is present per ward. Additionally, there is a roaming service that provides support to three wards and can step in when necessary. This way, you work independently, but you are never alone.

You are part of a multidisciplinary treatment team including psychiatrists, doctors, nurses, and social workers. In addition to your night shifts, you work one to two daytime shifts per month to remain involved with the team and developments on the ward. During your induction period, this may temporarily be a bit more frequent.

The duties

• observing and guiding clients with complex psychiatric and somatic issues;
• providing peace, structure, and safety during the night;
• performing nursing care and common nursing technical procedures;
• monitoring treatment progress and signaling changes in the health and well-being of clients;
• reporting specifics and ensuring a careful handover to colleagues.

You are an enthusiastic and committed nurse who functions well both independently and in a team. You have an affinity for Geriatric Psychiatry and find it interesting to work with clients where psychiatric, somatic, and social issues intersect.
