Job overview
Sequoia is a new service that is co-produced with people with lived experience and co-delivered with our partner agency Rethink. Sequoia provides primary care level interventions for people with Complex Emotional Needs and Personality Difficulties. The service covers the whole of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. We offer DBT and MBT informed groups, psych-education courses and peer support groups. All of these interventions are delivered both online and in person. Staff work in a hybrid way between home and locations within our communities, across BNSSG. More information on the service is contained in the service summary attached.
We are looking for someone who is an MBT practitioner or has completed the training and is working towards practitioner status. We will consider those who have completed the basic training and are booked on to and about to complete the practitioner training. We also have the budget to train people further. We will build in time within your job to join an established MBT service and deliver full programme MBT. Across the team we have good supervision structures. We pride ourselves on being inclusive both in our team and for the people we serve. We think it is exciting to work in a newly developing service that is based on a test and learn approach. We aim to deliver well-organised services, so alongside your other skills we highly value people who are organised and have good attention to detail.
Main duties of the job
The band 7 MBT Practitioner has two main areas of focus.
Firstly, you are a senior practitioner in the service, helping to identify the right people for the service to support, assisting service users who need an additional level of assessment, supporting other staff with complex decisions, and supervising staff. You will be involved in other interventions and other parts of the service outside just MBT. You will help with the design and implementation of the service. You will also support the day-to-day running of a service with a large primary care caseload. Sequoia does not care coordinate but does act as key workers. You will also be involved in training to wider networks and get involved in projects within the team. Within the team, we have leads/champions for certain groups of people e.g. perinatal or older adults.
Secondly, overseeing MBT informed interventions in a group setting. In terms of MBT, you will oversee the triage referrals, support conversations (assessments), and post-group reviews. You will keep an overview of the MBT offer alongside the clinical lead. You will use a test and learn approach to improve it. You will be involved with the data collection and analysis from the group. You will be the go-to person in the service for MBT in terms of supporting other staff and training people from other services. There will be ongoing specialist MBT supervision for you to help guide the development of the MBT part of the service.
