Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to develop the new Community Rehabilitation Team to support service users experiencing complex psychosis. The team will support service users who are ready to step down from inpatient rehabilitation services into the community. The aim of the team is to reduce the length of inpatient stay for service users from acute and rehabilitation wards, incorporating least restrictive practice, the NICE guidelines for complex psychosis and the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) national program.

We are looking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic Peer Support Worker to join our supportive multidisciplinary team and contribute to this exciting endeavour.

Your personal development priorities will be shared and supported through our appraisal process.

The team operates during office hours of Monday to Friday 9am-5pm.

To provide a wide range of structured activities to include social leisure activities, vocational and educational programs to promote and support individual well-being.

To act as a recovery champion and an ambassador of recovery across inpatients and community settings.

We are proud to provide high quality mental health and learning disability services, both inpatient and in the community across five boroughs of Greater Manchester - Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside and Glossop.

Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services. We're really proud of our #PennineCarePeople and do everything we can to make sure we're a great place to work.
