Service User Network - Dunstable, United Kingdom - East London NHS Foundation Trust
Description
Job summary
This post provides the opportunity for the further development of leadership skills through shaping and coordinating a new service offer within Bedfordshire and Luton - a Service User Network (SUN). The SUN is a collaboration between Mind-BLMK and the East London Foundation Trust (ELFT) Bedfordshire and Luton Complex Needs Service. It is an open access model of community-based facilitated group peer support for people experiencing complex emotional needs associated with complex trauma and/or a diagnosis of 'personality disorder', which will be operationally managed within Mind-BLMK. The SUN team will include a Service Manager (this post) and Clinical SUN Facilitators employed by ELFT, as well as Lived Experience SUN Facilitators employed by Mind-BLMK. The SUN model is based on coping process modification, therapeutic community ethos and culture, and psychoanalytic principles. Full training in the SUN model, and weekly supervision by a Psychotherapist/Psychologist, will be provided for all team members.
Main duties of the job
The post-holder will be responsible for the safe and effective daily operational management of the SUN service, as well as the implementation of ongoing co-produced SUN service developments. SUN groups are inclusive and will be accessible to anyone with complex emotional needs associated with complex trauma or a diagnosis of 'personality disorder', whether or not they are using other mental health services. They will provide a structured, containing and supportive group environment that people can access up to five days a week, and will be delivered online and/or in person in different geographical locations across Bedfordshire and Luton. This service will form an important part of the Beds and Luton Complex Emotional Needs offer spanning primary and secondary care. The post-holder will manage referrals and the development and provision of SUN groups, ensuring that each is co-facilitated by a Lived Experience Facilitator and a Clinical Facilitator whenever possible. In addition to the day to day leadership of the team, the post-holder will be required to contribute to the co-facilitation of SUN groups as a Clinical Facilitator and to participate in the weekly clinical supervision provided by the Complex Needs Service. The post-holder will also work with SUN members to agree ways of capturing outputs of co-production processes, the experiences of participating in co-production processes, and outcomes of co-production in line with commissioner requirements and Trust objectives.
About us
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations
