Join Our Team as a Peer Mentor

This is an exciting opportunity, to join the NHS as a peer mentor, for an 18 month period. Utilise your lived experience to enhance and engage those individuals who are entrenched within the criminal justice system.

BSMHFT are recruiting peer mentors directly for the first time and we are looking for someone who is:
Passionate about making a positive impact in your community

Experience of achieving goals that they have set in relation to multiple needs and having achieved a level of stability for at least 12 months and be willing to share details of their successful journey with clients.
And do not have licencing conditions from previous offences

Health and Justice Vulnerability Service covers various locations throughout the city supporting individuals in the journey throughout the Criminal Justice System pathway.

The successful applicant will be an integrated member of the Multi Disciplinary Team supporting colleagues in engaging service users throughout all of the pathways.

**The main aims of the peer mentor role are**:
Creating trust and rapport with people often defined as ‘hard to reach’.

Increasing the length and frequency of engagement.

Create trust in services.

Enable people to talk more openly about themselves and their situation.

Enable people to access the services they need.

Provide practical and emotional support - having time to listen, supporting people to attend appointments.

Inspire hope in people using the criminal justice system.

Inspire people working in the criminal justice system (including HJVS workers) by seeing visible recovery and learning from the lived experience perspective.

The peer mentor will establish a rapport with those who are disenfranchised, those who revolve through the Criminal Justice and Health systems and who do not engage with statutory services. Peer workers knowledge and experience will also support the development of the service to improve quality and improve service user experience.

Peer mentoring will be available as an option to individuals throughout their HJVS journey, especially those individuals who are failing to engage with the practitioners and/or Support Time Recovery Workers (STR).

Peer mentors will not hold a stand alone caseload but will enhance the work carried out by the practitioners and the STR workers.
