Job Summary

The Croydon Personality Disorder Service is looking to recruit a Registered MH Nurse, MH Social Worker, OT or equivalent to the post of Mental Health Nurse/Occupational Therapist/Mental Health Social Worker – specialist in personality disorder. You will previously have worked in a multi-disciplinary mental health team.

We are looking for staff with a commitment to working with people with personality disorder along with the confidence and skill to work effectively in therapeutic groups.

This is an exciting job with great opportunities to learn a range of clinical skills working in therapeutic groups and with personality-disordered patients. You will be trained in using Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) skills level A, the Structured Clinical Management (SCM) model, and in the competencies required to facilitate SUN groups, and become an accredited SUN group facilitator. You’ll also learn skills working individually with personality-disordered patients from an experienced and well-established team.

Our team is known as a very supportive team, with an emphasis on regular supervision and weekly Reflective Practice, and on the development of staff skills and knowledge.

You will be based in the psychotherapy day hospital, The Touchstone Centre, on the Bethlem Royal Hospital site and will go out into the Croydon community to facilitate our Sun Project and visit patients at home. At the Touchstone Centre, you will lead the facilitation of our SCM-based Problem Solving Skills groups.

Main duties of the job

We provide specialist, evidence-based MBT, psychotherapeutic day hospital treatment for working-age people with moderate to severe personality disorder. We also run The Sun Project, a coping skills development and crisis support group three times a week in central Croydon for people with or without a diagnosis of personality disorder. You will work within our team of psychotherapists, doctors, specialist community practitioners, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, and care co-ordinators.

We offer a strong, supportive, and cohesive team, and this exciting post means that you get the opportunity to develop your clinical skills to attain accreditation from us in facilitation of appraisal-based coping skills development groups (the SUN project), develop MBT skills in working with personality disordered patients, and SCM skills, and will participate in learning identified in your appraisal and personal development plan.
