Aberdeen, United Kingdom Penumbra Full time

**Location: Aberdeen**

**Salary: £23,436 - £24,699 per annum (£12.02 - £12.67 p/h equivalent)**

**Full Time - Permanent**

If you are looking for a rewarding career and to work within an epic team that will help you grow and thrive, then you have come to the right place. Working within our Intensive Housing Support service you can start your day knowing what you do really does make a difference

In collaboration with the Integrated Drugs Team, our Intensive Housing Support Service provides recovery-focused support on an individual and family basis. Using a strengths-based approach to addressing barriers to recovery, we work to promote self-management, resilience building and connecting positively to community resources to promote ongoing wellbeing.

Bringing a lived experience of substance use and mental health challenges, you will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible. Through sharing your own story and experiences, you will promote self-management tools, tips and techniques to improve health and wellbeing. Within a relationship of mutuality and authenticity, you will be able to use your unique insight to help address barriers and plan next steps.

You will act as a recovery champion within the team and an ambassador of recovery with external agencies and partner organisations. There is also an expectation that the Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner (Peer) will be involved in the ongoing development of peer roles and will make a positive contribution to the reduction in stigma associated with mental health issues.

As a mental health charity, we really value the wellbeing of our staff. That’s why we want you to know that you’ll be joining a friendly team, who will give you a supportive environment to help you thrive in your role, including all the training you need to feel confident and equipped.

We can offer you a tonne of employee benefits, and we can promise you’ll be inspired by some pretty amazing humans every single day. We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.
