Community Nurse in the Netherlands

Autumn has begun: the leaves are turning red and gold, the days are getting shorter, and that green coat continues to stand out in Gorinchem. For your clients, you are more than a caregiver. You are a familiar face, a listening ear, and someone who looks at what is possible. With your personal attention, you help people to live at home as independently and comfortably as possible. And precisely in these dark, colder months, you bring warmth to the front door.

You conduct conversations with clients and their loved ones, make indications, and adjust care plans when the situation requires it. Sometimes that means providing care yourself and performing nursing technical procedures; sometimes your focus lies more on coordinating, thinking along, and looking ahead. You identify risks, offer preventive advice, and ensure that the right care is deployed at the right time.

Throughout the day, you coordinate with colleagues, GPs, and other healthcare professionals. You answer questions, think along during complex situations, and support the team with your knowledge. You also supervise interns and students and help colleagues to further their development.

Your role moves continuously between client, team, and organization. One day the emphasis lies on indication and coordination, the other day on coaching or direct care. It is precisely that variety that makes working as a community nurse so dynamic.

Within Rivas Zorggroep, you are given the space to organize your work in a way that suits you, with support, smart digital tools, and as little unnecessary administration as possible.

Welcome to Gorinchem: a city full of history, but also full of energy! Our community team is buzzing, and you will notice that immediately. We go a long way for each other and enjoy short lines of communication. Your workplaces are as diverse as the city itself: from a cozy apartment building where you provide care in the smallest room, to a spacious villa with a view over the city.

In Gorinchem, you recognize your colleagues immediately: by that green coat! The fun part is that this often leads to spontaneous encounters. Our team is professional, but also close-knit and sociable. We look at where your passion lies: are you creative or rather someone who brings structure? Together, we ensure that everyone can truly thrive.

Some colleagues start the day from the office, others from home. In between, we like to drink a cup of coffee together or join in for a shared lunch. And conveniently: there is always a bicycle ready to zip through the city.

As a community nurse, you are the trusted point of contact for your clients and the link between various care partners such as GPs, pharmacists, and the social domain. You know the neighborhood, understand what is happening, and ensure that clients receive the best possible care. You work independently and take on an advisory role towards your colleagues in the neighborhood. Where necessary, you support the managing community nurse, so that together you can raise the level of care.

• You have a degree in Nursing at HBO level (level 6).
• You are BIG-registered and vaccinated against Hepatitis B (or are willing to do so).
• You have a driving license B and your own car, so that you are flexible in your work area.
