Carer Peer Support Worker

3 months ago


Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time
Do you have experience of being a carer for a loved one with complex emotional needs, often associated with a diagnosis of 'personality disorder'?


If so, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Carer Peer Support Worker to work in 'personality disorder' services at Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust.


We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual who will be able to share wisdom, from their own experiences, to inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible in others.


The role will involve working collaboratively with other professionals, to assist in improving the wellbeing of the families that use 'personality disorder' services.

This will be achieved by supporting carers directly, by sharing experiences and engaging in practical activities to enable them to feel in control of their lives.

The role will also involve providing support to carers' groups and developing and maintaining relationships with several Local Mental Health Teams throughout the Nottinghamshire area.


This job can be emotionally challenging at times, but the successful applicant will receive support, guidance and training from colleagues within the 'personality disorder' team and the wider organisation.

To establish supportive relationships with carers and people using mental health services based on the core principles of peer support (mutuality, reciprocity, strengths-focused, safe, progressive, non-directive, recovery-focused and inclusive)

To share personal experiences of caring, recovery and coping to build connection and inform support

To use active listening skills to help people develop self-understanding and identify their personal recovery goals

To support others in achieving goals that they have identified for themselves, including signposting to other organisations and opportunities

To role model recovery, personal responsibility and self-awareness

To raise awareness of recovery language among Trust staff by modelling positive, strengths based, non-discriminatory, non-jargon, non-medicalised language in all areas of work

To embrace every opportunity to work with people in a recovery focused way, supporting the community team by undertaking duties that would be a reasonable expectation of the role

To maintain strengths focused clinical records

We are also home to national and regional services such as the National High Secure Deaf Service and the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health.

Your health and wellbeing is our priority and as such we invest significantly in this via our in-house Occupational Health Service, Staff Counselling Service and Health and Wellbeing Team.


We offer a number of employee-led staff networks, including Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) groups, our Green Champions Network, Freedom to Speak Up Network.
