GVP (Specialized Nurse in Psychogeriatrics) | Nieuw Leeuwenburg Doorn

You don't just see the behavior. You see the person.

A resident suddenly becomes restless. A colleague wonders what is going on. Where others see the behavior, you look one layer deeper. What is someone trying to make clear? What need lies behind the behavior? And how can we, as a team, better respond to that?

As a GVP at Nieuw Leeuwenburg, you help residents with dementia to remain themselves as much as possible. You support colleagues with complex care questions, think along in challenging situations, and contribute to a warm living environment in which residents feel seen, heard, and understood.

At Nieuw Leeuwenburg, we believe that behavior always has meaning. We do not look at what someone can no longer do, but rather at what someone needs to feel safe, secure, and comfortable.

As a GVP, you are given the space to truly utilize your expertise. You are a coach, specialist, and connector all at once. You help colleagues to look at behavior differently and actively contribute to the quality of living, well-being, and care.

That makes your work versatile, challenging, and above all, valuable.

As a Specialized Nurse in Psychogeriatrics, you are the expert in the field of dementia, behavior, and person-centered care.

You:

• Observes, analyzes, and interprets the behavior of residents.
• Supports colleagues with complex behavioral and care issues.
• Coaches teams in person-centered working and dementia care.
• Advises on appropriate approaches and interventions.
• Contributes to the promotion of expertise within the location.
• Works closely with doctors, psychologists, nurses, and other disciplines.
• Participates in multidisciplinary consultations.
• Actively involves family and loved ones in the care and guidance of residents.
• Contributes to quality improvement within dementia care.

Midway through the morning, restlessness arises in a resident with dementia. Together with colleagues, you investigate the underlying cause. You observe, look at the resident's life story, and discuss possible explanations.

Later in the day, you coach colleagues in a complex situation, participate in a multidisciplinary consultation, and speak with family members. Their knowledge and experiences help to better understand the resident and make the care even more personal.

No two days are the same. However, every day you have a visible influence on the quality of life of residents and on the job satisfaction of your colleagues.

Welcome to Nieuw Leeuwenburg in Doorn, a modern residential care location where both residents and colleagues quickly feel at home. Here, elderly people with dementia live in a safe, homely environment where personal attention is central.

We look at what residents find important and align with their wishes, habits, and possibilities every day. In the communal living rooms, cooking takes place at the kitchen island, people eat together, laugh, and regularly have a dance. Family and loved ones are closely involved in the daily lives of residents and play an important role in our vision of care.

You will join a dedicated team of colleagues: young and old, experienced employees, and new talent. Together, we work on an environment in which well-being, autonomy, and quality of life are central.

As a GVP, you will receive an important role in further developing our dementia care and psychogeriatric expertise. You will be given the space to take initiative, share knowledge, and help build the future of Nieuw Leeuwenburg.
