As a psychological assistant, you will be involved in gaining insight into the cognitive development of children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 with a physical or medical condition. You are responsible for the diagnostics of children within pediatric rehabilitation, with the aim of providing practitioners with insight and tools for appropriate guidance and treatment.

To achieve that:

• You support the pediatric rehabilitation unit by preparing, conducting, and processing psychodiagnostic research, including intelligence testing and neuropsychological research.

• You perform additional psychodiagnostic research, for example in the socio-emotional domain, including the use of questionnaires.

• You process your findings in reports and discuss them with the educational psychologist and/or GZ-psychologist.

• You maintain contact with parents and caregivers in the context of the research.

• You get the opportunity to contribute ideas regarding the further development and organization of the diagnostic practice within pediatric rehabilitation.

• There are opportunities to take on and develop interventions that promote the functioning and self-confidence of children. A fine example of this is training focused on executive functions.

• You are part of a multidisciplinary team where you proactively seek coordination with other disciplines such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists.

As a psychological assistant, you are part of the pediatric rehabilitation unit of the Sint Maartenskliniek. This is a dynamic team that wants to remain at the forefront regarding the development of children. Within pediatric rehabilitation, we pay attention to the psychosocial aspects of children with disabilities in areas such as Cerebral Palsy, Neuromuscular disorders, and NAI (Non-Acquired Brain Injury).

Our team consists of 90 employees, including speech therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, dietitians, social workers, GZ-psychologists, educational psychologists, and psychological assistants. We are a warm and passionate team. There is a high degree of commitment to our profession, but also to each other. There is plenty of room for entrepreneurship and innovation.

Your work location is primarily the pediatric rehabilitation outpatient clinic in the Maartensschool. You work together with the teachers and behavioral scientists of the Maartensschool and have close coordination with the Pediatric Rehabilitation Physicians of the Sint Maartenskliniek.

• You will receive a versatile role with a lot of responsibility and room for your own initiative.

• A contract initially for a duration of one year with the intention of permanent employment and a salary of at least € 3,228.- and at maximum € 4,346.- gross per month based on 36 hours per week (FWG 45 CAO hospitals).

• A package with excellent employment conditions, including an end-of-year bonus, a good pension scheme, and free parking at the hospital.

• Focus on your talent and (personal) development, partly supported by our own Maartensacademie which advises and facilitates you in education, schooling, and training.

• Attention to your vitality, with an eye for your personal situation, life stage, and concrete facilities such as free sports on location.

• A beautiful workplace in a wooded environment.

• A workplace where we accept you as you are and where you may be yourself.
