Are you an experienced medical assistant? Then we, the GGD Region Utrecht Infectious Disease Control Team, are looking for you right away!
Medical assistant for the control of infectious diseases
- 24-36 hours
- immediately – 1 year in view of the extension
- Location: Utrecht
- Apply here
What are you going to do?
As an Infectious Disease Control (IZB) medical assistant you will fill 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 intuition. You will make a substantial contribution to the fight against infectious diseases and epidemics, thus preventing further spread. In addition, the position also consists of support and administrative duties.
You start the day by opening the inbox where reports of infectious diseases arrive from the laboratories. For each report, a file is created in the HPZone digital recording system. This task is shared with the secretariat. Later, during the daily start of the day, we discuss with doctors and nurses who will resume the relationship. You can process and manage low complexity reports. This means that you conduct research on sources and contacts, take questionnaires (doctors) and give advice. It happens that medical procedures such as sampling or assisting or administering vaccinations are performed. Writing information letters and compiling and sending laboratory research packages are also part of your duties. Sometimes you are in contact with other health care professionals, such as primary care practices, when you request the status of a hepatitis B vaccination. Perhaps today you will also go for a home visit or a bird flu outbreak.
In addition to written laboratory reports, questions are asked every day by professionals and citizens by email or telephone. You can think of a children’s center who 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. Be part of the triage of these questions and handle the questions yourself or pass them on to a nurse or doctor.
Other duties that fall within your responsibility include inventory management, a role in hiring new colleagues, attending the scabies clinic.
Your actions can speed up the process of setting up and managing 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, trainees and infection prevention experts.
If you choose to work in the Utrecht GGD region, choose Public Health. You focus primarily on prevention and have many telephone contacts with a wide variety of people, from the institution to the patient. As a medical assistant of the IZB you do not think from an individual point of view, but keep in mind the interest of the community. The purpose of your team is all infectious diseases, with the exception of tuberculosis, infectious diseases that fall under sexual health and Corona (which is now taken over by the crown company of the GGDrU).
What do we ask of you?
In order to work as a medical assistant, you have completed training as a medical assistant. You are well versed in the medical procedures described above or are motivated to master them. You also have an affinity or are curious in the field of infectious disease control.
You are the business card of our team; a customer-oriented attitude and social qualities are therefore not alien to you. It is important that you have an open attitude: customers from different personal and cultural backgrounds feel comfortable with you and you in turn get in touch with them easily. In this regard, it is important that you speak basic English.
You like to work independently, but you also like to work in a team. For example, play one of the team roles within our organization. You work accurately and are accurate. You also have a flexible and positive attitude and like to take on different tasks.
In times of 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, for example working in the evenings if needed, this will happen sporadically.
