Diabetes Nurse

• You get the space to apply your expertise and to grow further.
• You are an important support for patients in every phase of their treatment.
• You work independently and in a committed team where we help each other.
• You contribute to innovation in diabetes care, such as pump therapy and sensors.
• Together we ensure that the transition from pediatric care to adult care runs smoothly

As a diabetes nurse at St. Antonius, you are part of the Diabetes Care/Endocrinology team. In this role, you are much more than just a nurse. You are a guide, coach, and point of contact for patients who have sometimes been in our care for years.

You have your own consultation hours via physical appointments, video calls, or telephone consultations. Every patient brings their own story: someone who has just received a type 1 diagnosis and is overwhelmed. A pregnant woman who must track her values accurately. A dialysis patient with complex insulin needs whom you see multiple times a week.

"Every day is different. You are a medical specialist, coach, and confidant all at once."

You guide and instruct patients in the use of insulin pumps and glucose sensors, technology that evolves rapidly and in which you are the expert. But at least as important is what you do beyond the numbers: listening, explaining, motivating.

• Performing annual checks: discussing glucose levels, adjusting insulin, tailored coaching
• Guiding patients with pump therapy, glucose sensors, and other technology
• Intensively guiding pregnant women with diabetes throughout their pregnancy
• Telephone and video call appointments in the afternoon
• Collaborating on transition care: guiding young people in the transition from Diabetes Centraal (pediatric clinic) to the adult clinic
• Developing protocols and training programs together with internists
• Participating twice a week in multidisciplinary consultations with doctors and dietitians

On the department, the lines of communication are short, the atmosphere is committed, and there is always someone to brainstorm with.

In short: you are an indispensable link between patient, doctor, and colleagues.

You will start working at the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic, together with a team of eight enthusiastic diabetes nurses. Together with the internists, we treat patients with various forms of diabetes: type 1 (including LADA/MODY), type 2, gestational diabetes, and diabetes resulting from other conditions.

• A salary between € 3,463 - € 4,914 gross per month (FWG scale 50 Hospital Collective Labor Agreement), based on 36 hours per week. We will tailor your salary to your training and work experience.
• A one-year contract for 24-36 hours per week, with a view to permanent employment.
• 8.33% end-of-year bonus in December and 8.33% holiday allowance.
• A pension scheme with PFZW, in which St. Antonius pays 50% of the pension premium.
• Annually 57 hours Personal Life Phase Budget based on a 36-hour work week, which you can use in a way that suits your life stage.
• Tax benefits via our Flexible Benefits System. With this, you can use part of your gross salary for, for example, a bicycle, fitness and sports, study costs, extra travel expenses, or a device.
• Plenty of room to develop professionally and personally via our extensive learning platform with live training and e-learnings.
• Through Epassi, Benefits at Work, and Tickets for Good, you get access to activities, workshops, events, and cultural outings, often for only the administrative costs.

• Guiding and motivating diabetes patients with energy, enthusiasm, and commitment;
• Listening well, providing clear and patient explanations, with an eye for the person behind the patient;
• Setting priorities, maintaining an overview, and having a flexible working attitude;
• Actively thinking along about how our care can be even better;
• Always up-to-date regarding knowledge and developments in your field.

To be able to work as a diabetes nurse, you have at least:

• A diploma in MBO or HBO nursing, supplemented with the post-HBO diabetes nurse training.
• A valid BIG registration and BIG-registered prescribing authority (AGB code).
• Preferably experience as a qualified diabetes nurse.

At St. Antonius, you work on (highly) complex care with your heart in the right place. We are a top-clinical teaching hospital where patient care, education, and research form the three solid pillars. Thanks to our size, we can truly make an impact, while remaining agile and personal. Here you can act, experiment, and push boundaries, always focused on better care and quality of life.

Our ambition is healthy: we want to move forward, but not at any cost. You will be given the space to grow, innovate, and learn from mistakes. Additionally, we offer various development opportunities, a good work/life balance, and job satisfaction. Because working should also remain fun.
