London, Greater London, United Kingdom South East London Mind Full time

South East London Mind is working in partnership with South London and Maudsley NHS Trust to deliver the Southwark Primary Care Mental Health Team.

Working alongside and complementing the mental health care provided by the Multi-Disciplinary Teams, our Lived Experience Support Workers offer a strength-based holistic approach to recovery, using empathy and understanding to help service users access the right interventions and support, based on their individual need.

They also support clients to develop and maintain independence in their local community, promoting resilience, building life skills, and a strengthened ability to cope with challenges and play a more active role in the management and sustainability of their wellbeing.

We are seeking a new Lived Experience Support Worker to join our team. You will have lived experience of mental health challenges, as well as experience supporting vulnerable people within a clinical environment and/or managing a vulnerable client cohort caseload.

The role will involve:

  • Working alongside a Multi-Disciplinary Team, managing and providing recovery-orientated support to a diverse caseload of clients with mental health diagnoses
  • Offering clients tailored, holistic support with empathy and understanding to empower them to develop resilience, a strengthened ability to cope with ongoing challenges, and a more active role in the management of their wellbeing
  • Engaging clients in peer support sessions and offering appropriate and holistic advice, information, and signposting and helping them to navigate the support that may be available to them in their local communities.

    Successful applicants will be expected to undergo an Enhanced Level Disclosure and Barring Service check.

    Closing date: Monday 26th August (11:59pm)

    Likely interview date: Wednesday 4th September at Impact Brixton (SW9 8LA)
