Requirements

What we're looking for

You are a decisive anesthesia technician with ambition who wants to help pursue our objectives. You are a (nearly) CZO-qualified anesthesia technician. You find it natural to take the lead within a department that is continuously developing, and you see it as a great challenge to give concrete shape to changes, now and in the future. In this, you like to go the extra mile, even when not directly asked. You are ambitious, you want to continue to develop yourself, and you are consciously choosing an academic working environment for this purpose. This means, among other things, that you enjoy supervising students, interns, and researchers. You also enjoy working together with doctors in training.

You know how to handle stress well in a profession where acute situations are part of daily life, and you possess the flexibility needed to perform your duties optimally under all circumstances. Above all, you are highly skilled in guiding patients, and for you, the best person-centered care and maximum patient safety are the most important goals in your work. Preferably, you have experience in a UMC working environment or you have demonstrably excelled in another OR setting.

Did you obtain your diploma abroad? Then the following conditions apply to be allowed to work as an Anesthesia Technician at Radboudumc:

Languages

  • Excellent command of the Dutch language, both spoken and written.

The role

As an anesthesia technician in our operating rooms, you will make a concrete daily contribution to the high-quality, person-centered patient care that is so characteristic of Radboudumc. Because we are both an academic hospital and a level 1 trauma center, you will be involved in often complex and acute anesthesia issues. This is within an ambitious department, where innovation (in the interest of the best OR care for our patients) is the keyword. The academic character of the department ensures that you are always at the forefront of groundbreaking developments within your field. By applying new methods (such as MITeC), you help to minimize patient admission and treatment duration, set the right priorities in patient treatment, and further optimize the quality of care for patients. In doing so, alongside efficient, distinctive, and person-centered care, maximum patient safety is the most important objective.

The fascinating cases you will encounter within an academic working environment and the extra challenges that will become possible over time will provide you with all the depth and space needed to realize your personal ambitions within this beautiful profession.

About the company & team

You will be working in an academic OR that aims to be a leader in the Netherlands and Europe. You will be part of an enthusiastic team that enjoys benefiting from your knowledge and experience. We believe it is important that we learn from each other daily. Additionally, giving open and honest feedback on everyone's performance is being increasingly embedded in our culture. In this regard, we consider your personal input to be crucial. We accept each other's mistakes, but simultaneously help each other to constantly improve in our profession. We all work hard to be and remain a leader in the Netherlands. To this end, we form a close-knit team that interacts in a very collegial manner, both within and outside of work.

Within the Operating Rooms department of Radboudumc, you will work as an all-round anesthesia technician, under the leadership of four operational managers specifically for anesthesia, with a team of approximately 80 driven anesthesia colleagues.

Within Radboudumc, you will develop further within one of our dedicated teams: for example, CTC, Kind, or ZUT. Here, you will specialize in a specific area of focus and make a direct contribution to highly complex care.

The Independent Extraction Team (ZUT) is deployed for organ donation and organ transplantation. This team consists of 2 surgeons, 2 OR assistants, an anesthesiologist, and an anesthesia technician. This is a specialized extraction team and performs the extraction at the hospital's OR complex where the donor is located. The ZUT is equipped with a specially designed bus containing all the necessary materials.

Would you like to take a look outside the OR? Then we have the unique combined position of Anesthesia Technician and Sedation Practice. In this role, you will work partly in the OR complex as an anesthesia technician and partly as a Sedation Practice Specialist (SPS) outside the OR, for example, in the cardiac catheterization lab, the gastroenterology (MDL) department, or in gynecology. Are you not yet a qualified SPS and do you see yourself working in this combined position with us in the future? Then we would love to train you for this, because we are expanding this team!

There is also sometimes the opportunity to work as a civilian soldier within the OR department of Radboudumc. This civilian soldier medical personnel goes on deployment or exercise for a maximum of 6 weeks in a period of 1.5 years. The rest of the time, you will be deployed as a regular anesthesia technician at Radboudumc.

At the Operating Rooms department, you work on the organization of high-quality, safe operative care for approximately 25,000 patients per year. You support all surgical specialties, several diagnostic specialties, and the Anesthesiology department. With 25 operating rooms, surgical day treatment, induction rooms, the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), and the ultra-modern MITeC OR complex, we offer top-clinical care and work continuously on innovation and the improvement of patient care. You become part of a team of committed colleagues in which collaboration and personal attention are central. We pay a lot of attention to an attractive working environment, team spirit, and personal development, with activities such as the annual OR symposium, training days, and the OR bowling tournament.

Additional information

  • A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is required for this position.
  • Have you been trained with an EPA focus but do not yet possess the specific EPA certificates? That is no problem! Together with you, we will create a tailor-made plan to obtain them.
