3 months ago

Runcorn, United Kingdom Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

A rare opportunity for a motivated individual who has lived experience of the Criminal Justice System or Custody in Prison.

This post would be Ideal for someone who wishes to use their own experiences of Prison and the Criminal Justice Service to help others who are due to be released from custody to build their lives in the community and access support networks.

Our outreach service operates within Health and Justice in MPFT supporting people that come through our Liaison and Diversion service in the Cheshire area.

Training will be given and experience of support work is desirable but not required as the role depends more upon your ability to use your personal experience to support others and your desire to do so whilst being part of a NHS team that is supportive, approachable and dedicated to the role.

The ability to commute independently across the Cheshire area is essential.

Peer support is based on the recognition that there is no better person to support the path towards recovery than someone who has walked the same path as that individual. We actively seek peers who have lived experience of both the CJS and a health and social care need, e.g. mental health, substance misuse, etc.

To help individuals identify strengths, interests and their own achievable and meaningful recovery goals.

To support the implementation of groups.

To support service users in developing other areas of interest.

Draw upon own lived experience to inspire hope, model self-awareness and facilitate service users in developing their own resourcefulness for managing their health and wellbeing.

Facilitate access to community groups and networks that enable participation in activities, to maximise service user's opportunities for socially valued roles and positive identity.

Ensure that service user’s peer recovery goals are integrated into the Trusts care plan/CPA process and are reviewed on a regular basis, through liaising closely with employment specialists and care co-ordinators as necessary.

To actively engage with colleagues and other professionals to ensure the needs of the client group are met through promoting recovery orientated, strengths based practice.

To attend and participate in multi-disciplinary team meetings.

To work under the regular supervision of the team supervisor and guidance of other professional colleagues within the team.

To participate within Trust peer training and peer working networks.

To have an awareness of the IOH model and pathways.
