A Trip Sitter is a sober, responsible individual who provides support and ensures safety for someone experiencing a psychedelic journey. Their role is to create a calm and non-judgmental environment, assisting the individual through any challenging moments. They do not guide or interfere but remain present to offer reassurance.

Job description

About the job Ketamine Infusion Sitter

  • 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
