Service User Network

4 months ago


Luton Bedfordshire, United Kingdom East London NHS Foundation Trust Full time

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

Job description

  • Using clinical expertise and specialist training in the SUN model to co-facilitate SUN groups with Lived Experience Group Facilitators, leading on safety plans and risk management.

  • Working with the Mind-BLMK Operational Manager to support the management of human resources, whilst simultaneously ensuring that the Trust targets for recruitment, retention, sickness levels, supervision and appraisals are met for Trust employees.
  • Working with service users to co-produce key elements of the operational arrangements of the service, before and during service deployment.
  • Working with senior colleagues to finalise the service operational procedures ensuring that these meet the Trusts clinical requirements and are commensurate with the Trusts Management and Human Resources policies.
  • Working with the Mind-BLMK Operational Manager to ensure that the physical environment is conducive to the delivery of high quality care by ensuring that there are clear systems for providing services in safe and secure environments (including InPhase), arranging for replacement and/or repair of equipment and furnishings, and liaising with relevant organisations in satellite bases to ensure a clean, safe and secure environment.
  • Identifying day-to-day risks and mitigating actions which will be key to risk management within the service and inform how the service operates.
  • Maintaining systems and processes for the effective operation of the team, including audits in relation to effectiveness and quality and the development and monitoring of associated action plans.
  • Maintaining a high standard of clinical record keeping that meets both the Trusts and Mind-BLMK record keeping requirements.
  • Taking responsibility for collecting relevant data on work activities, and inputting data onto the relevant databases as required.
