Nursing Assistant Neurology | Neurosurgery

As a nursing assistant on the neurology and neurosurgery wards, you play an important role in the daily care of our patients. You support the nursing team in the care and guidance of patients with complex neurological and neurosurgical conditions. In doing so, you are visibly present on the ward and offer a listening ear, engage in conversation, and keep an eye on the patient's well-being. You signal changes in the patient's condition and report these back to the nurse in a timely manner. You also contribute to a clean, safe, and well-organized ward where patients feel comfortable.

In this position, you independently perform various nursing technical tasks, such as measuring vital signs, performing an ECG, and checking glucose levels. Additionally, you support the nurses with reserved and complex procedures and help with guiding patients to examinations or during (internal) transfers. You ensure that materials and supplies are in order and check incoming deliveries. In this way, you contribute every day to good, safe, and person-centered care.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated nursing assistant who enjoys working within neurology and neurosurgery and who derives energy from varied care tasks. You are careful, involved, and know how to prioritize well in a dynamic working environment. You are available for all shifts (day, evening, and occasional night shifts) and enjoy working together in a close-knit multidisciplinary team where collegiality and quality of care are central.

In the main building, you will find the neurology and neurosurgery nursing wards. The nursing ward is part of the Brain & Senses Center and proudly carries the 'smart hospital' label. Here you will find innovative instruments, including the ViSi Mobile. On nursing ward A4 West, two specialties work together on one nursing ward. An incredibly fun combination of surgical and acute care.

The Neurosurgery specialty deals with the surgical treatment of conditions of the brain, skull, skull base, cranial nerves, spinal cord, spinal column, and the peripheral nervous system. The Neurology specialty focuses on conditions of the brain and is nationally known as an expertise center for neuromuscular disorders, Parkinson's and movement disorders, neurovascular diseases, and neuro-oncology.

A significant number of our patients reach the nursing ward via the emergency department (ED), which ensures a constant flow of admissions and a dynamic working environment. This, combined with the complexity of the care requests, requires a high degree of physical, mental, and emotional resilience from our nurses and nursing assistants. In addition to daily multidisciplinary collaboration, we also have close contact and work together with caregivers.

We function as a teaching department where nurses supervise students and continue to learn constantly, both within and outside their field of expertise. We look forward to welcoming you as an enthusiastic member of our team!

Our new colleague, the nursing assistant, is a certified nursing assistant (level 2) and looks forward to further developing within an academic setting. You enjoy orienting yourself broadly and learning a lot about care on a neurology/neurosurgery nursing ward. You have a heart for your profession and derive satisfaction from supporting patients and contributing to as pleasant a stay as possible. With your involvement and positive attitude, you often know how to provide that little bit of extra attention that brings a smile to the faces of patients and their loved ones.

You are enterprising and have an eye for the well-being of the patient and their environment. In addition, you possess empathy and are a good listener. You are reliable, work hard, and like to take initiative when you see that something can be improved or is needed. In contact with patients, family, and colleagues, you are communicatively skilled and know how to convey your message clearly and respectfully. You can prioritize well and remain calm and decisive in a dynamic working environment.

Furthermore, you recognize yourself in the following profile: you are flexible and adapt easily to a new working environment, being able to switch gears quickly throughout the day. You are self-assured and can handle the variety and busyness that working on a clinical ward entails. You are available for all shifts (day, evening, and occasional night shifts) and like to contribute to a close-knit and professional team.

• The first interviews will take place on Friday 20 November 2026. It would be great if you could take this into account.
• Before or after the interview, you will first shadow the ward for half a day.
• A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is required for this position.

We are recruiting for this vacancy ourselves. We do not appreciate acquisition; however, sharing within your network is welcome.
