Medical Assistant Pulmonary Function

• A new direction for you as a medical assistant or nurse, in which you build upon your knowledge and experience.
• More independence and more time and attention for personal contact with patients.
• A good start in a new specialty, with a thorough induction process and experienced colleagues to help you on your way.
• Room to grow further in the profession, with training and career advancement opportunities.

How well are someone's lungs working? And what do the measurements tell us about the symptoms someone is experiencing? At our pulmonary function department, you help to provide those answers.

After a thorough induction process, you will independently perform pulmonary function tests as a research laboratory technician/medical assistant pulmonary function. You explain to patients what is going to happen, guide them during the examination, and ensure reliable measurements. In doing so, you look closely at what someone needs. One patient may need some extra explanation, while another primarily needs reassurance or encouragement. The results of your tests help the physician in making a diagnosis or determining the correct treatment. Additionally, you contribute ideas for improvements in pulmonary function testing and work closely with your colleagues (a friendly and professional team of pulmonary function analysts, trainee pulmonary function analysts, and research laboratory technicians) in the department.

A total of 16 pulmonary function analysts, trainee pulmonary function analysts, and research laboratory technicians work at the St. Antonius pulmonary function department. Together, we perform all common pulmonary function tests, including lung volume measurements, blood gas determinations, and allergological and exercise tests. You will work alternatingly at two different locations within the St. Antonius, namely Utrecht & Nieuwegein. Despite being a large team, it feels personal and close-knit. We have a mix of young and experienced colleagues and learn a lot from each other.
Do you want to develop further? You can. We offer training and various career advancement opportunities.

• A salary between € 2,750 - € 3,959,- gross per month (FWG scale 40 Cao Ziekenhuizen), based on 36 hours per week. We will tailor your salary to your education and work experience.
• A one-year contract for 28 -32 hours per week, with the prospect of a permanent position.
• 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.

You are an enthusiastic go-getter: a committed medical assistant (or comparable education) with excellent communication skills. You work independently, efficiently, and carefully. You enjoy thinking along with the process and dare to take the initiative in it. To be able to start as a research laboratory technician within the pulmonary function team, you have at least:

• A completed diploma as a medical assistant or a healthcare-related education at level 4;
• At least one year of relevant work experience

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 go hand in hand. Thanks to our size, we make a real impact, but remain agile and personal.

Our clinical priorities are heart & vascular, lungs, and cancer. Additionally, we are one of the leaders in the Netherlands in the field of value-based care. This means that we do not only look at what is medically possible, but especially at what truly makes a difference for the individual patient. By structurally measuring the most important outcomes and learning together, also with the other Santeon hospitals, we make care a little bit better every day. With us, every employee, including you, makes a difference for the patient.
