Vascular Diagnostic Technician

• You independently perform various vascular examinations, from arterial to venous diagnostics, thereby providing important information for the treatment of patients.
• Due to the complex vascular abnormalities investigated at St. Antonius, you will encounter pathologies and examinations that you do not see in every hospital.
• Plenty of room for independence: you perform examinations, interpret the results, and describe your findings for the treating specialist.
• Collaboration goes beyond the examination room. You regularly participate in vascular discussions and multidisciplinary consultations with various specialties.
• Within a modern functional department, you work with advanced duplex equipment and continue to further develop your professional knowledge.

As a vascular diagnostic technician, you independently perform non-invasive examinations of the blood vessels of patients of all ages. With your examination, you help specialists to clearly visualize vascular abnormalities and determine the correct next steps in treatment.

You measure, register, and analyze the blood flow of the blood vessels using advanced duplex equipment, combining ultrasound and blood flow measurements. You interpret the examination results independently and describe possible abnormalities.

The examinations are both arterial and venous and can be extensive. Some patients find the examination exciting or must remain lying in the same position for longer periods. Therefore, you combine your technical knowledge with attention to the patient: you explain what you are doing, reassure someone where necessary, and ensure that the examination proceeds carefully.

Your duties include

• performing and interpreting various vascular examinations;
• analyzing and describing examination results for the treating specialist;
• performing examinations in the CNF/Vascular Function department and, when necessary, on the dialysis or nursing ward;
• collaborating with specialists, outpatient clinics, and nursing wards regarding patient diagnostics;
• participating in vascular discussions and multidisciplinary consultations.
• You will receive a lot of responsibility for your own examinations and room to think along about the work and the further development of the department.

Every examination with our patients is different; the complexity, the atmosphere, and the outcomes of the examination. This makes the work challenging and fun for me every single day! And... you will join a warm environment with lovely colleagues of all ages!

You work in the combined Clinical Neurophysiology (CNF)/Vascular Function department of the St. Antonius Hospital. The department is modernly furnished and possesses advanced equipment for clinical neurophysiological and vascular diagnostics.

St. Antonius specializes in vascular diseases and also treats patients with complex vascular abnormalities who are referred from other hospitals. As a result, you will deal with a wide variety of examinations and pathologies.

You are part of a large team of vascular diagnostic technicians and CNF technicians. The department operates from the Utrecht, Nieuwegein, and Woerden locations. The position is for 24 to 32 hours per week.

• Salary up to a maximum of € 4,914.- gross per month (FWG scale 50 Cao Hospitals) based on a 36-hour work week, depending on your education and work experience.
• Annual contract for 24-32 hours per week, with a view to permanent employment
• A 13th month, an attractive pension scheme, and a time budget to use for a good work-life balance
• Tax benefits and discounts on, among other things, bicycles, sports, electronics, and cultural outings
• Training and development opportunities to deepen your (professional) knowledge
• Participation in (sporty) activities and workshops

You feel at home in a role where performing independent research and providing personal attention to patients come together. During an examination, you can switch easily between technique, interpretation, and contact with the patient, and you find it interesting to further deepen your knowledge of vascular diagnostics.

At a minimum, you bring:

• A completed HBO (higher professional education) degree as a vascular diagnostic technician/vascular technician.
• You can independently perform and interpret vascular diagnostic examinations.
• You are available for 24 to 36 hours per week.

Nice to have

• Experience with examining patients with complex vascular abnormalities.
• The ability to provide clear explanations and reassure patients during long or exciting examinations.

Interest in continuing to look, together with colleagues and specialists, at how diagnostics and patient care can be further improved.

Are you in doubt whether you fully meet the profile? We are happy to think along with you.

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.

Would you like to first get to know the department or shadow for half a day? You are very welcome. For questions, please contact Amber van Haren, team leader CNF/Vascular Function, via 088 3204124.
