  • Ketamine Infusion Sitter

    Neolytix

    Direct care worker job in Amherst, MA

    Hold space for patient / client during ketamine infusions Unlike trained therapists, sitters do not guide the trip in any direction. Their role is strictly a non-directive and supportive one. In doing so, sitters will help keep the trippers safe emotionally and physically by engaging minimally. Discuss and identify expectations, boundaries, and intentions with the client. This is often a general conversation entailing a loosely set-out plan to help avoid any surprises. An ideal sitter is a listener rather than a talker. They are understanding, kind, and attentive through verbal and body language. Assist in changing music, increase or decrease the volume depending on the needs of the client. Assess the clients reaction to their environment and make changes to best suit their needs i.e. offer comfort by providing tissues, blankets, and cushions when and if needed. Reassure the client about any fears or worries that have occurred during the session. In the highly unlikely event of a medical emergency, the sitter will contact the nurse or physician who is immediately available in the other room. Document significant client interactions Contribute to the development and growth of our Sitter program Be in touch with all ancillary treaters in coordination with other members of our treatment team Since we work as a team, must be willing to help with any other aspect of clinic operations, including administrative tasks, errands, office maintenance, etc. Sound Like You? You have a track record of sitting with others during psychologically challenging times, with or without psychedelics involved. Ideally completed a program/training/certificate in a relevant field Thoughtful, compassionate, present and personable Capable of holding space for complex, challenging, and novel experiences with an open, unbiased and warm presence Mission-Obsessed: You have a deep personal connection to mental health Practice Intellectual Honesty / Integrity: You seek and speak the truth directly and possess high courage and low ego Cultivates Wholeness: You bring your authentic self to work and promote the wellbeing of team and peers Focus: You practice deep work
