This post was co-produced in partnership between Stepping Stones and the West Dunbartonshire
Health and Social Care Partnership (WDHSCP) and is part of an extended network of mental health
services across (WDHSCP). The successful candidate will be directly employed in Stepping Stones.
The Peer Support Worker role has been developed specifically for people who have lived
experience of mental health problems. Through sharing learning from their own experience, and
the experience of others, peer workers will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible.
As an integral and highly valued member of the team, the Peer Support Worker will help people to
regain control of their lives and develop their own unique recovery process. Within a relationship
of mutuality and information sharing, they will promote recovery, self-management and
opportunities for improved health and wellbeing.
The Peer Support Worker will provide 1:1 support to identified patients and members of the
CMHT and Stepping Stones. They will provide linkage to community based services and partner
organisations. They will support health and third sector colleagues to work in a recovery focussed
way and acting as recovery champions within the teams they work.
There is an expectation that the Peer Support Worker will be involved in the ongoing development
of self-management groups, and Peer2Peer Training within the West Dunbartonshire area. The
Peer Support Worker will offer supervision to peers (where the individuals are not supported by
other existing staff members). There are also opportunities to support the other Stepping Stones
groups, activities and members.
Initially based at our Clydebank office, this role requires flexibility and the successful candidate
may be required to work irregular hours that includes evenings and occasional weekends. Our
support services are offered across the West Dunbartonshire area.
