Are you an experienced doctor’s assistant? Then we, the infectious disease control team GGD Region Utrecht, are immediately looking for you!
Doctor’s Assistant Infectious Disease Control
- 24-36 hours
- immediately – 1 year with a view to extension
- Location: Utrecht
- Apply here
What are you going to do?
As a doctor’s assistant Infectious Disease Control (IZB) you will fulfill a new position within the Infectious Disease Control team. This means that the interpretation of the position is not clearly defined, but that you can partly shape it according to your own insight. You will make a substantive contribution to the fight against infectious diseases and outbreaks, thereby preventing further spread. In addition, the position also consists of supporting and administrative tasks.
You start your day by opening the mailbox in which the infectious disease reports come in from the laboratories. For each report you create a file in the digital registration system HPZone. This task is shared with the secretariat. Subsequently, during the daily start of the day, it is discussed with doctors and nurses who will take up which report. You can process and handle low complex reports. This means that you conduct source and contact research, take (medical) questionnaires and give advice. It happens that you perform medical procedures such as sampling or assisting with or administering vaccinations. Drawing up information letters and compiling and sending laboratory research packages is also part of your duties. Sometimes you are in contact with other healthcare professionals, such as GP practices, when you request the status of a hepatitis B vaccination. Perhaps you will also go on a home visit today or to an outbreak of bird flu.
In addition to the written lab reports, questions are asked daily by professionals and citizens by e-mail or telephone. You can think of a children’s center that wants information about an impetigo outbreak, a student with scabies who has questions about treatment or a doctor who wants to know what to do with a patient who has been bitten by a bat. You do part of the triage of these questions and handle questions yourself or pass them on to a nurse or doctor.
Other tasks that fall under your responsibility include stock management, a role in onboarding new colleagues, participating in the scabies clinic.
Your actions can speed up the process of setting up and handling case histories. You are an indispensable link in our team!
Where will you work?
The Infectious Disease Control team is a large multidisciplinary team consisting of physicians (ANIOS, AIOS, IZB physician, Physician Society and Health), nurses, nurses in training and infection prevention experts.
If you choose to work at the GGD region of Utrecht, you choose Public Health. You mainly focus on prevention and have a lot of telephone contact with a wide variety of people, from institution to patient. As a IZB doctor’s assistant you do not think from the individual point of view, but you keep the interest of the collective in mind. The scope of your team is all infectious diseases, except Tuberculosis, infectious diseases that fall under sexual health and Corona (which is now being picked up in the GGDrU’s corona company).
What do we ask of you?
To be able to work as a doctor’s assistant, you have completed a training as a doctor’s assistant. You are skilled in the medical procedures described above or are motivated to master them. You also have an affinity with or are curious about the field of infectious disease control.
You are the calling card of our team; a customer-oriented attitude and social qualities are therefore no stranger to you. It is important that you have an open attitude: clients from different personal and cultural backgrounds feel at ease with you and you in turn make contact with them easily. In this regard, it is important that you speak basic English.
You enjoy working independently, but you also enjoy working in a team. For example, you fulfill one of the team roles within our organization. You work accurately and are accurate. You also have a flexible and positive attitude and you like to take on different tasks.
In times of a health crisis, the GGDrU acts as a crisis organization. We count on your commitment in times of crisis. We expect you to be motivated and willing to be flexible by, for example, working in the evenings if necessary, this will occur sporadically.
