Healthcare Assistant IG Night Shift PGI - De IJssel - Eefde - Wonen met Zorg

Do you bring peace and stability, and do you have the patience and the keen eye to discover what a client needs when the night becomes restless? Help build our new PGI department De IJssel and truly make a difference in the lives of our clients while the rest of the world sleeps.

While the world around you sleeps, you are the calm, stable factor on our new PGI department De IJssel. In the silence of the night, you provide the security and de-escalating attention that is so desperately needed with this intensive target group.

Your shift begins at 11:00 PM. As the surroundings settle down, you start with a careful handover from the evening shift. Working on a PGI department requires just a little more from you at night than on a regular ward, because you work with clients with complex psychogeriatric issues and intensive, misunderstood behavior. This demands your full attention, patience, and creativity. It is up to you to signal and understand why things are happening. Is it restlessness, anxiety, pain, or a search for closeness in the dark?

Where necessary, you guide clients back to bed in a warm manner and offer a listening ear. Because you carry a lot of independence during the night, you independently perform the necessary nursing technical procedures and make the right decisions on the spot. Between care moments, you ensure that the department is neatly prepared for the new day. What does this offer you? A role with plenty of space and responsibility, in which you take your clinical eye and de-escalating skills in complex situations to a higher level.

You will come to work at our new PGI department De IJde in Eefde. You are stepping into a challenging work environment that is fully under construction and where the frameworks are not yet set in stone. This means that together with your team, you get to shape how night care develops here.

Although you are alone on De IJssel at night, you work closely with your colleague from Spijkhoeve. There is always contact with the colleagues from Spijkbungalows, and in case of acute need or complex situations, you can call upon the mobile night team. The collaboration is low-threshold and warm. Additionally, we like to invest in your professional growth through targeted training and education specifically tailored to this PGI target group and misunderstood behavior.

You have a strong affinity with the psychogeriatric target group and sense flawlessly what is going on, even when a client cannot express it in words. Sometimes you move flexibly with the client's perception, while in other situations you act firmly and de-escalatingly to maintain peace on the ward. You are self-assured, decisive, and possess good self-reflection skills.

In addition, we ask of you the following practical matters:

• MBO diploma Healthcare Assistant IG (level 3);
• Authorized and competent to independently perform nursing technical procedures and the willingness to proactively keep your training up to date;
• Demonstrable affinity with the PGI target group and experience with complex misunderstood behavior;
• Availability for 16 to 24 hours per week in the night shift, whereby it is a plus if you are open to an occasional evening shift to get to know the rhythm of the clients well;
• In possession of a BHV certificate or the willingness to obtain this via Sensire;
• VOG requirement upon employment.
