Bexhill, United Kingdom Sussex Partnership NHS FoundationTrust Full time

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, progressive Early Intervention in Psychosis Service based in Bexhill/Hastings, supporting clients aged 14-65 with First Episode Psychosis
As part of our ambition to deliver outstanding care we are looking to recruit a Peer Support Worker, who would like to use their own lived experience to help others to have a positive, hopeful and meaningful experience of mental health services.

We are looking for an expert by experience that has lived experience of psychosis, to support the delivery of recovery focused interventions in our Early Intervention Team. As an integral and highly valued member of our multi-disciplinary team, the Peer Support Worker will provide formalised peer support and practical assistance to service users, empowering them to regain control over their lives and their own unique recovery process.

Working collaboratively alongside service users, the Peer Support Worker builds on a person’s ability, strengths and their links to social and community services. In the role you will work in partnership with multiple agencies in the community. Peer Support Workers engage with mental health service users to show empathy, share experience, inspire hope and promote recovery with the aim of assisting service users to gain and maintain independence in the community. The Peer Support Worker will assist service users in raising aspirations and developing personal goals, co-produce and co-facilitate groups and increasing individual occupational performance and participation.

This small, friendly, multi-disciplinary team is based at New Park House in Horsham, situated in front of Horsham Park, a short walk from the train station and within walking distance of the town centre shops and cafes. Horsham is within easy reach of Brighton, Crawley and the surrounding areas.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an expanding team within Sussex EIP. The Horsham EIP team is one of 6 Early Intervention in Psychosis teams provided by the Trust. The teams have a single service-wide governance group which oversees and leads on the delivery of care.
You will be supported by the team leader and the wider MDT. You will be provided with individual clinical supervision, and opportunities to link with other Peer Support Workers both within EIP and other services for peer support and development.
As a service we offer a real commitment to support your continuing professional development through a variety of internal and external training opportunities and university accredited courses.
The base for this post is in Horsham however the team regularly works flexibly and remotely using a range of digital solutions for meetings and consultations.
- To support individuals and groups using a Peer approach
- To be a positive role model for other people overcoming mental health challenges, other workers and members of the public
- To use parts of your recovery story to inspire hope in others where appropriate
- To use appropriate skills in engaging with individuals with mental health challenges, eg asking open-ended questions, validating strengths and experiences and using empowering language to overcome negative self-talk
- To support and enable individuals with mental health challenges to resolve conflicts and regain control, responsibility, hope and enjoyment based on the principles of peer supported recovery such as sharing your personal recovery story
- To support service users in identifying both strengths and early signs of relapse. To support service users in identifying possible triggers or causes of relapse
- To provide support to individuals in gaining choice, developing and managing meaning and purpose of life and independence, and maintaining dignity and self respect
- To support individuals in meeting holistic needs (education, welfare, employment, financial, leisure, housing, spiritual, etc) in partnership with other individuals, care team and agencies and within a recovery environment
- To promote and make service users aware of personal strengths and social networks, and highlight their ability to engage with these
- To deliver educational training to service users (as appropriate)
- To support access and facilitation of activity sessions both on a one-to-one and group basis for service users
- To ensure all service users are aware of activities which may be of benefit to them and how these can be accessed
- To undertake any other such duties as may reasonably fall within the remit of the post, as required by the Manager/Supervisor
