Job Description:
Do you want to be part of an exciting team that makes a real difference to people’s lives?
You can achieve this and more at St Andrew’s Healthcare.
Location: Northampton, Northamptonshire
Salary: £11.91 per hour
St Andrew’s Healthcare is a charity providing specialist mental healthcare services. We work in partnership with NHS, educational, research, and voluntary organizations to deliver inpatient and community mental healthcare, along with education and research to improve lives of those with complex mental health needs, learning disabilities, or autism.
Our REDS (Recovery and Every Day Skills) Recovery College offers recovery-focused courses and workshops to patients, carers, and staff, designed and delivered in partnership with individuals with lived experience of mental illness.
We seek an enthusiastic, self-motivated team player who can also work independently, to promote, co-design, and co-deliver courses on recovery and daily skills.
This role is part of our flexible bank workforce.
The role
You will use your lived experience of mental health challenges to support REDS learners (patients, staff, carers) in their journey towards hope and fulfillment.
Working with a small team of Recovery College Trainers, you will help design and deliver training to small groups, including some outside Northampton.
A key part of your role is building relationships with patients, carers, and staff, sharing your recovery story.
You will receive ongoing support and training in course delivery.
About you
Your compassion, care, and understanding are essential to build rapport with patients. Experience sharing your recovery journey with peers is preferred, or you should be confident in doing so.
You should have good communication and interpersonal skills, confidence speaking in groups, and enthusiasm to inspire engagement.
You are a team player but also capable of working independently.
You should be excited about developing a service that makes a real difference. Experience in secure/forensic mental health is preferred.
