Forensic Peer Support Worker

2 weeks ago

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

We have an exciting opportunity for a peer support worker (PSW) to join our Community Forensic Service in a new post.

Through sharing from their own experiences, peer support workers inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible in others.

As a peer support worker (PSW) you will provide formalised peer support and practical assistance to patients in order for them to regain control over their health and wellbeing to lead meaningful lives and to develop their own unique recovery process.

We are looking for someone who embodies LPFT values and is able to work flexibly across Lincolnshire to meet the needs of our service users.


The role of a Peer Support Worker (PSW) within our Community Forensic Service has been developed specifically for individuals who have lived experience of mental health difficulties requiring access to secondary mental health services, namely forensic mental health services and/or involvement with the criminal justice system.


Under the supervision of a qualified member of staff, the PSW will support the delivery of a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary community forensic 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) and will have access to support, training and supervision to enable development within the role.


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.

Maintain strict confidentiality of patient information at all times and ensure accurate record-keeping in accordance with Trust Policy.


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.
