The role

As an orthopedic cast technician at Rivas Zorggroep, you treat a wide diversity of patients with injuries and conditions of the musculoskeletal system. You work independently, think along about the best treatment, and coordinate closely with other disciplines. In our small-scale hospital, you will get the space to apply your professional knowledge, contribute ideas, and further develop care together with your colleagues.

What you'll do

You apply immobilizing, supportive, and corrective casts, and you remove and inspect them.
You also assist in assessing X-rays and adjust the treatment plan where necessary.
You provide advice and instructions to patients and their loved ones regarding the treatment.
You work closely with medical specialists and other disciplines to ensure the treatment is well-coordinated.
You provide training for, among others, ER nurses, medical students, and general nurses.
You contribute to innovations, digital reporting, and the development of protocols and working methods.

You treat patients for the outpatient surgery clinic, ER, orthopedics, plastic surgery, and neurology.

Due to the diversity of patients and treatments, no two days are the same.

We work with eight-hour shifts between 08:00-17:00, where we work together to ensure a good distribution of shifts and staffing.

You will join a close-knit and professional team that works independently, has short lines of communication with other healthcare professionals, and is open to new ideas. We value it when you think along, take initiative, and look at treatment possibilities with a fresh perspective.

Where will you work?

You will be part of an enthusiastic and close-knit team of four orthopedic cast technicians. Together, we deliver the best possible patient care every day, with quality, service, and personal attention at the center. Within the team, there is plenty of room for humor, collegiality, and job satisfaction.

Additionally, you will assist in the potential training of future orthopedic cast technicians and the further development of the field.

The Beatrixziekenhuis is a regional hospital in Gorinchem with an outpatient clinic in Leerdam. Modern medical facilities, quality of care, and a wide range of specialties are characteristic of the hospital. By working closely with patients, GPs in the region, and other healthcare providers, the Beatrixziekenhuis fulfills its promise of high-quality medical-specialist care daily. The regional function of the hospital ensures that you can practice your role in its full breadth.

Who are you?

You are a qualified orthopedic cast technician or are in the final stages of your training.
You can work independently and take responsibility for the treatment of patients.
You possess good clinical reasoning skills and strong problem-solving abilities.
You can adapt your treatment approach to the situation and the possibilities of the patient.
You work pleasantly with colleagues and other disciplines and communicate clearly with patients and their loved ones.
You are open to developments within your field and actively think along about improvements in care.
