Guideposts exist to provide services to meet individual needs so that each person has the opportunity to fulfil their aspirations and maximise their potential. We seek to achieve excellence in our work and lead the way in researching, delivering and disseminating good practice.
Complex Emotional Needs (CEN) is an umbrella term that captures a broad group of clients, who may have received a diagnosis of ‘Personality Disorder’ when using mental health services or have comparable needs.
According to national statistics:
- 5% of people in the UK have a personality disorder.
- 30-40% of people accessing secondary mental health services have a personality disorder.
- 40-50% of people in inpatient services will have a personality disorder.
Many people living with a personality disorder report traumatic personal histories and may demonstrate pervasive patterns of instability in emotion and behaviour regulation. In addition, individuals may experience identity confusion, episodes of dissociation, conflict in interpersonal relationships, self-injurious behaviours and suicidal thoughts. Research suggests that one in 10 people living with a personality disorder will go on to complete suicide.
The Guideposts CEN service is looking to recruit a Coach Practitioner with fresh ideas and ambition, to deliver psychologically informed coaching interventions over the phone to a defined client group in Gloucestershire.
