A healthcare organization provides 24/7 emergency care to psychiatric patients in crisis in the region. For this Crisis Service, social psychiatric nurses (SPN) with a passion for psychiatric crisis care are sought, where collaboration, quick decision-making, and flexible deployment are essential. During crisis shifts, you are constantly available for patients and their system. Crisis assessments are carried out as much as possible at clients' homes or at a safe assessment location.
As an SPN, you are able to perform both telephone triage at the control room and crisis assessments, always with your multidisciplinary crisis team. You work closely with resident doctors, the psychiatrist, and other SPNs.
What you do
- Maintain contact with the patient, family/relatives, and involved chain partners, together with colleagues (SPN, resident doctor, psychiatrist).
- Shape the triage process, together with fellow SPNs and/or Mental Health Triage staff.
- Ensure that all parties are well-informed and that collaboration proceeds professionally, with the principle: 'first provide care, discuss afterwards'.
- Contribute to the continuous development of the content and working methods of the crisis service.
- As a team, together with the schedulers, ensure 24/7 accessibility and operationality.
