Peer Support Worker

1 week ago


Grantham, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The role of a Peer Support Worker (PSW) has been developed specifically for individuals who have lived experience of mental distress and have accessed mental health services.


Under the supervision of a qualified member of staff, the PSW will support the delivery of a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary community mental health service.

The PSW will do this through providing emotional support to help them meet their treatment goals.

Through sharing their own experience, PSW's will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible, helping service users to feel more positively about their future.


The post holder will work under the supervision of the community Team (including Nurses, Occupational Therapist's, Social Workers, Psychologists, Consultant Psychiatrists, and Assistant Practitioners etc).


Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health services and a number of learning disability, autism and social care services in the county of Lincolnshire.

Employing around 2,800 staff, and serving a population of over 766,000, our people lie at the heart of everything we do.


You could be part of a Trust rated by staff as one of the best mental health and learning disability trusts in England, in an area heralded as a fantastic place to live and work.

We firmly believe the key to high quality care is a contented workforce. This is reflected in our Care Quality Commission rating of 'outstanding' for well-led and 'good' overall.

In the most recent National NHS Staff Survey, our staff rated us as the number one trust nationally for staff morale and one of the top scoring NHS Trusts in the Midlands for being compassionate and inclusive.

We're really proud of this


We are also leading the way in transforming care, with multi-million-pound transformation of patient environments and radical redesign of community services.

This is the time to join and help redesign our services of the future. We offer options for flexible working and provide a wide range of training and promotion opportunities in all professions.

We support and celebrate diversity, have active staff networks groups and are always looking at what more we can do to support our staff.

To model principles of hope, recovery and self-belief in all aspects of their work with patients and families.

Share coping, self-help and self-management techniques with patients and their carers, in an appropriate and supportive manner.


To support patients to meet treatment goals and enable access to the community to promote their emotional and social development.

Support patients who may be struggling with transitions out of, or across, services.

Liaise with representatives from universal services, as appropriate, and facilitate and model good communication between services.


Comply with and carry out safe practice in accordance with Trust policies and procedures, and local and national policy and legislation.

Engage in a period of induction, supervision and work-related training, as required.

Facilitate access to community groups and networks that enable service users and /or carers to participate in community activities, in order to maximise opportunities for taking on socially valued roles, positive identify and support people moving on from clinical services.

To work flexibly across the week, this may include some weekend and evening work.


To act as a connector and work collaboratively to establish and develop links with the wider peer support network both internal and external to LPFT.
