Overview
Alabaré, as a key partner within the Mental Health and Wellbeing Partnership (a collaboration of voluntary organisations including Second Step, Missing Link, and Nilaari), is seeking compassionate and dedicated Peer Support Workers to join our Crisis House provision.
The complimentary skills, knowledge, experience, and connections of the MHWP ensure the development and delivery of excellent, accessible, person-centred, and integrated mental health services tailored to the diverse needs of communities in Bath & North East Somerset (B&NES), Swindon, and Wiltshire (BSW). The values of the MHWP are: focusing on recovery, valuing equity & integrity, doing what works, sharing learning, and leading change and transformation.
As a Peer Support Worker, you will be an integral part of a supportive team, utilising your own lived experience of mental health challenges and recovery to offer hope, understanding, and build meaningful connections with our Guests. You will empower Guests to develop their skills and agency through collaborative care and safety planning.
This vital role involves working with individuals (Guests) experiencing a mental health crisis, providing short-term support (typically 7-10 days) within a comfortable, homely environment. Peer support workers deliver trauma-informed care, promote stability, and facilitate effective onward planning, thereby preventing unnecessary admissions to mental health inpatient settings.
