For Scotland's Mental Health

Post:
Peer Wellbeing Practitioner


Ref:
REC1435


Location:
Dunfermline & West Dunfermline


Hours: 22.5 hrs per week

Salary:
£25,468 pro rata (Equivalent to NHS Band 3)


Contract:
Fixed until 31/03/2027 (pilot service)


About the Role
SAMH are recruiting to the posts of Peer Wellbeing Practitioners.

This is an exciting new role for people with a lived experience of mental health issues and their own recovery journey.


Peer Wellbeing Practitioners will be a dual role, embedded within Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT) working as a team to support individuals accessing the service in a hospital in-reach, home and community-based settings.

The CMHTs provide specialist multi-disciplinary interventions for people with significant mental health difficulties, where there is a complexity of difficulties and / or risk to self and / or others.


Peer Wellbeing Practitioners use their own lived experience of mental health issues to support service users in a recovery focussed way using goal setting and person-centred approaches.

Using formalised peer support models they will enhance the support provided to the individual by developing mutually empowering relationships.

There is an expectation that Peer Wellbeing Practitioners will facilitate group work or individual sessions that will aid individuals in their recovery journey.


Peer support practitioners will offer a proactive approach, working with people in communities of diversity and will have a strong people focussed values base.

Peer Wellbeing Practitioners are role models of recovery and will have responsibility for working in a professional, boundaried manner that values this asset.


What we are looking for
Respect and dignity for the people who use our services is at the heart of everything we do. We're looking for people with great people skills who are honest, reliable and resilient in challenging situations.

This role will require a high degree of autonomous working, working within Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT) as part of a multi-disciplinary team and contributing to risk and support management in a clinical setting.


Everyone we support is different and we use individually tailored recovery and wellbeing plans to help them to identify where their strengths lie and support them in the areas where they may need it.

In this role your attitude and personality matter as much as your skills and experience.

We are looking for initiative, compassion, energy and determination and the ability to motivate and inspire people who use our services to develop their skills and self-confidence and realise their aspirations.

Supporting the people who use our services means there are a variety of shift patterns including evenings and weekends.

Please note that travel is an essential part of the role and due to the geographical reach, a valid driving licence and access to own vehicle are a requirement for the post.


What we will provide for you
You will work in a supportive environment and will be provided with a full induction and training opportunities. You will be given the chance to develop your knowledge and skills, as well as develop professionally. Some of our benefits include;

  • Fully funded PDA peer support qualification
  • Reimbursement of PVG
  • Funded continuous learning and development opportunities, access to over 100 courses online in addition to classroom and virtual training sessions
  • 30 days annual leave rising to 33 after 5 years' service (pro rata)
  • 4 public holidays (prorata)
  • 2 paid wellbeing days off per year to use on what matters to you (prorata)
