Outpatient Nurse, Medical Services and VIT | JOT

As an Outpatient Nurse, you will have a very varied role working with both the medical department and the Addiction Intensive Team (VIT).

In the medical department, you are responsible for dispensing medication, including methadone, to clients of the JOT, as well as FACT, ACT, and Forensic FACT. You serve as a co-therapist for all these clients. At the medical department, you often see clients more frequently than their primary therapists. This allows you to sometimes make a difference in a person’s treatment by fulfilling a preventive and monitoring role. Additionally, you play an important role in the outpatient detoxification process, including administering urine tests and ECGs. You are involved in many consultations with other disciplines and managers.

Here are some examples of your duties at the medical department:

• Prescription of medications, including disulfiram, methadone, and Suboxone;
• Video calls with the client when taking medication;
• Follow-up visits with clients;
• Motivating clients;
• Various nursing procedures, such as performing ECGs, administering medication, conducting metabolic screenings, and performing urine tests;
• Regular multidisciplinary consultations;
• Providing outpatient detoxification services for clients.

“You’re responsible for a lot of different things. You help shape the big picture of how we organize care for the JOT. That’s really fun to do.”

- Reimar, Nursing Coordinator, JOT Medical Services

At the VIT, you will work alongside the addiction specialist to provide crisis care for clients who have reached a crisis point due to their substance abuse. Following coordination meetings, you will conduct home visits, develop treatment plans, and prepare reports. You will conduct outpatient home detoxes. You will also be in frequent contact with care partners and family members to resolve the crisis and encourage the individual to seek care. You will also handle office duties, during which you will assist clients, family members, and care partners with all kinds of questions regarding addiction care.

We offer you:

• The standard terms of employment under the GGZ Collective Bargaining Agreement and a salary at FWG scale 50. There is an opportunity for advancement to scale 55.

• With 11 specialties across various locations, Arkin also offers many long-term opportunities for your professional development and personal growth. To this end, we provide a wide range of training programs, such as motivational interviewing and outpatient care.
• A flexible benefits plan that allows you to use part of your gross salary for additional vacation time, a bicycle purchase, and supplemental travel expenses.
• For your well-being, you’ll receive an annual wellness budget of €100, a wellness allowance of €500 (both prorated based on length of service), and access to the Nrgize platform to participate in activities such as boot camp, yoga, and padel.
