Our Peer Support Workforce is expanding, and we are seeking to recruit STR Lived Experience Support Workers for the Liaison and Diversion Reconnect Resettlement service.
Our Lived Experience Support Workers will operate across our Court and Reconnect services. A key responsibility is facilitating community engagement by helping service users connect with community groups and networks, promoting social inclusion and a positive identity. The role also involves advocating for service users' rights, accompanying them to appointments, welcoming them to a service, signposting advice, and promoting autonomy and self-management. Additionally, the worker will contribute to fostering a recovery-oriented environment by collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and using strengths-based, non-discriminatory language to support recovery-focused activities.
This position is subject to an enhanced check with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and police/prison vetting, considering any offending history.
