Description:
British Isles DBT Training (biDBT) is the sole licensed provider of training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in the UK and Republic of Ireland, with a 20-year track record of delivering high quality staff development and DBT programme implementation in a wide range of clinical settings.
biDBT has developed an online benchmarking platform that allows clinical DBT teams to upload pseudonymised clinical outcome data, allowing them to track individual client progress and to compare their team’s results with benchmarks from randomised controlled trials, effectiveness studies, and peer benchmarks from teams across the UK. They can use this as a basis for evaluation and continuous quality improvement for their local services, and their data contributes to national and supra-national auditing on the effectiveness of DBT in routine clinical practice.
We seek a highly motivated individual with strong communication and data interpretation skills to join our team as a Clinician Engagement & Clinical Benchmarking Analyst. biDBT is currently undergoing expansion in English NHS Trusts, and in 2020 launched a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in DBT in partnership with Bangor University. This two-year diploma attracts an intake of approximately 200 students per year, studying part-time whilst employed as mental health professionals. DBT is a team-based treatment and teams enrolled on the PGDip are expected to contribute clinical outcome data from their local implementation to the benchmarking platform.
The data collected will form the basis of health-related quality of life benchmarks, as well as borderline symptoms and emotion regulation, and you will work closely with the Course Leadership and Administration Teams in Bangor to provide frequent feedback on your own progress.
The role of the Clinician Engagement & Clinical Benchmarking Analyst is to work closely with current and prospective users of the benchmarking platform, encouraging them to upload a minimum outcome dataset, supporting them to interpret their data to get the most out of benchmarking, and troubleshooting any issues. You will also work closely with the technical lead for the benchmarking platform to design, implement and test improvements to the website to ensure a positive user experience, as well as the clinical team when needed. The post holder will work from the biDBT office in Wrexham. Post Holders will be willing to travel periodically to DBT teams across the UK, for consultation, as required.
Key Responsibilities
* Engage with users of the benchmarking website, both online and in person, offering consultation to help them upload and interpret their data and make the most of the website functionality.

* Manage a helpdesk function (using a dedicated ticketing system) to provide timely resolutions to problems reported by users; resolve issues yourself or refer to other team members as appropriate.
* Promote the benchmarking platform by contributing to the organisation and delivery of online and in-person benchmarking events, producing a benchmarking newsletter, and delivering short online demo slots.
* Work with the benchmarking team to ensure the most appropriate analytical techniques are used for the purposes of data presentation
* Encourage teams to utilise the ‘Capacity Planning Manager’ to optimise their service delivery.
