Psychotherapist Regional Teams Expertise Personality Disorders - 28-36h

If you want to bring your experience as a psychotherapist to an environment that is constantly developing, then we are looking for you! The activities will take place at the Zuyderland location in Sittard-Geleen.

Within the 3 regional teams, the various expertises of elderly care, Basic GGZ, FACT, and anxiety, mood, and personality issues are represented. These expertises work together extensively in a multidisciplinary manner within the regional team.

As Zuyderland GGZ, we stand for a recovery-oriented vision of positive health and working from a network vision. Essential to this is a close connection with our GPs by connecting to the GP MDO and by deploying Liaison Officers per regional team who are easily approachable for consultation functions and conducting exploratory conversations. In 2024, a start was made with this in the context of the further development of the Uniform Intake Model. We attach great value to the use of experience-based expertise, occupational rehabilitation through the use of IPS, and the involvement of and cooperation with loved ones.

Within this dynamic environment, we are looking for a psychotherapist. We invite you not only to be a diagnostician and practitioner, but also to be reflective and, in the role of lead practitioner, to shape all phases of the treatment process in a creative and flexible manner in coordination with colleagues. Your tasks consist of co-developing, indicating, and executing treatment plans and psychotherapy (individual or in group) for clients with personality disorders. You will also be involved in supervising colleagues in training.

You work systematically and switch smoothly between different disciplines. You communicate clearly, both orally and in writing, and know how to make contact easily. You are customer-oriented, remain calm under pressure, and dare to take action, while being open to feedback and constantly looking at how you can improve yourself.

You have:

• BIG registration as a psychotherapist.
• Registration in the registers for schema therapist, MBT therapist, or cognitive behavioral therapist is also recommended.
• Membership of client-oriented or psychodynamic psychotherapists in their method-specific psychotherapeutic professional association is also recommended.
• Registration as a systemic therapist or the ambition to develop in this area is desirable.

• An innovative workplace in collaboration with pleasant, expert colleagues.
• Personal development opportunities.
• A contract for a duration of one year with a view to a permanent contract.
• A working week of on average 28-36 hours, where working hours are negotiable.
• A gross monthly salary in FWG 70 from € 5,027.- to € 7,735.- (at the level of July 1, 2025) based on a full-time employment of 36 hours per week. The classification depends on your relevant work experience. As of December 1, 2025, a collective labor agreement (CAO) increase of 2.25% will follow.
• An attractive holiday allowance (8.33%) and year-end bonus (8.33%), CAO GGZ.

• Travel allowance and a good pension scheme (PFZW).
• Collective discount on supplementary health insurance (CZ, IZZ, or Menzis) and various insurances at Centraal Beheer/AON.
• An advantageous disability insurance (Loyalis).
• Optional participation in the staff association with discounts on concerts, holidays, and interesting workshops/courses.
