Requirements

What we're looking for

You have completed a nursing education or a bachelor's in medical practice. You have an eye for both the professional and personal aspects of care. Work experience in cardiology or acute care is not required, but is certainly valued.

Collaborating with your colleagues within the intervention team, on the department, and with other specialties is a matter of course for you. Especially in acute situations, in which quick and efficient switching is required, you can blindly rely on your team members and you contribute to smooth and goal-oriented cooperation. You always keep a cool head, can adequately collect and interpret patient data in a hectic environment, and make the right decisions under pressure, both independently and in a team.

Nice to have

You contribute to the best person-centered care, whereby you not only deploy your expertise but also actively take on the personal guidance of patients and their loved ones. You have excellent communication skills and great empathy, which enables you to inspire confidence in both patients and their loved ones. You know how to respond well to the specific situation of the patient during treatment.

You find it a challenge to work with diverse and often unusual pathologies, and you are constantly curious about new developments within your field. It is a matter of course for you to continue maintaining your knowledge and to seek in-depth expertise.

Additionally, you are flexible in dealing with changing situations and working hours. You are a pleasant colleague who contributes to a positive work atmosphere and you have a sense of humor, which benefits the cooperation within the team.

Education & certifications

Are you an enthusiastic and eager-to-learn colleague with a completed education as a nurse or medical practitioner, who wants to specialize as an interventional cardiology staff member? Then we invite you to apply.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

Your education is fully paid for by the Radboudumc.
While following the training, you will be placed in salary scale 8aM. After successfully completing the training, you will be placed in salary scale 9aM.

Visa & relocation

A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is required for this position.

The role

As an interventional cardiology staff member, you play a crucial role in guiding patients who must undergo various examinations and treatments. Your involvement is of great importance throughout the treatment. You are the pillar of support for the patient; your careful guidance often makes the difference between a carefree and a tense experience for the patient.

You work together with the physician during examinations and treatments. This concerns, for example, patients with blockages in the heart's vascular system. You work primarily in the department's cardiac catheterization laboratories, and during treatment, you are part of an intervention team of two or three colleagues led by an interventional cardiologist. Furthermore, you monitor the patient's vital functions during the procedure and take them over if necessary. Additionally, you serve as a sterile assistant and stand beside the interventional cardiologist during procedures.

Patients come from both elective and acute settings. Your working hours are from Monday to Friday between 08:30 and 17:00, during which both elective and acute procedures are performed. In acute situations, it may be necessary to perform an examination or treatment immediately, which requires flexibility from you. This means you have on-call shifts a few times per month, during which you are expected to be present within 30 minutes.

In their own words

About the company & team

Our department, the Multidisciplinary Vascular Intervention Center, is part of the Heart and Vascular Center of the Radboudumc. We consist of a total of approximately 40 colleagues divided into three teams: cardiac stimulation specialists, interventional cardiology staff, and cardiology day treatment nurses. But in daily practice, we work together as one cohesive team in a very pleasant and personal atmosphere.

We are a highly complex department where advanced technology and specialist care are central. On our department, both medical knowledge and technological expertise come together to offer patients the best care. Patient contact is often brief, but due to the intensity of the care, it is always powerful and effective. Much work is done with X-rays on our department, which requires precision and care. We have four cardiac catheterization laboratories, where we use innovative techniques to perform complex interventions. The combination of technology, expertise, and the focus on quality makes our department a dynamic and challenging work environment.

Working at the Multidisciplinary Vascular Intervention Center means working in an environment that is constantly in motion, where much ambition is applied to the Multidisciplinary Vascular Intervention Center of the future, and where you, as a nurse or medical practitioner, receive all the space to continue developing yourself in your profession. Moreover, you work within a department where we collaborate in a pleasant manner and where we encourage constructive feedback on each other's performance and open communication.

Within our close-knit cardio intervention team of about 20 colleagues, a positive and driven atmosphere prevails. As an interventional cardiology staff member, you will be active not only within interventional cardiology, but also within neuro-intervention, electrophysiology, and congenital cardiology. In this multidisciplinary team, we collectively bear the responsibility for delivering high-quality care to our patients.
