Job Overview
As an integral and highly valued member of the multi-disciplinary team, you will provide formalised peer support and practical assistance to service users in order for them to regain control over their lives and their own unique recovery journey.
Through sharing the wisdom of own lived experience, you will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible in others. You will facilitate and support information sharing to promote choice, self-determination and opportunities for the fulfilment of socially valued roles and connection to local communities.
You will take a lead role in embedding recovery values within the service, alongside other Trust recovery champions, and act as an ambassador of recovery for the Trust with external agencies and partner organisations.
You will also have the opportunity to co-work with other colleagues and there will be some opportunities for group work.
Have you had lived experience of mental ill health and services? Would you like to support other people who are currently experiencing mental health issues? If so, we would like to hear from you. We are looking to recruit 4 enthusiastic part time Mental Health Peer Support Workers to work in our mental health inpatient wards at St Georges Hospital, Stafford.
Come and work with us at our award-winning NHS Trust, leading the way for trying new and better ways of working to help improve life for our local communities.
We have around 9,000 staff who provide physical and mental healthcare, support for people with learning disabilities, and adult social care across Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent, Shropshire, and Telford & Wrekin. We also run regional and national services, including help for new parents (perinatal care), eating disorders, forensic services, sexual health, and support for people in prison with mental health, drug, or alcohol problems.
We offer great career development for both clinical and non-clinical roles, with ongoing training and support to help you learn and grow.
We are 'United in our Uniqueness' and committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and can be themselves, no matter their background or identity. We want our staff to feel supported and valued, and we aim to build a team that reflects the communities we serve. Together, we can make sure every voice is heard, and every difference is respected.
