Peer Practitioner

Edinburgh, United Kingdom Penumbra Full time

**Location: National - across Scotland**

**Salary: £22,426 - £23,635**

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. Here you can start your day knowing what you do really does make a difference

Self-Harm is when someone deliberately harms themselves. It is a very personal response to a complex range of different factors such as dealing with emotional pain, feeling disconnected, and/or feeling stressed. There is also increasing evidence of the link between the experience of trauma and self-harm.

Penumbra began to develop a specific support service for young people who self-harm around 25 years ago. Today, we remain one of a few organisations that has specific services for people who self-harm. Currently we provide services for people (currently 16+) who self-harm in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, North Ayrshire and South Ayrshire (where we work with secondary schools and people 12-18 years), Fife and Dundee.

We have secured funding from the Scottish Government to further develop this work so that we can deliver a programme of support, resources and education that will inform future planning for self-harm support. This is an exciting opportunity to play a role in work of significance and impact, the learning from which will help shape the Scottish Government’s planned self-harm strategy, and action plan.

Working within a locally based practitioner team you will test a variety of approaches such as 1:1, group, peer support, online delivery which can be evaluated in your dedicated area. We will also test alternate pathways e.g. self-referral, A&E, Schools Primary Care, Secondary Care, and Education. This role has been developed specifically for people who have lived experience of self-harm. Through sharing learning from their own experience, peer workers will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible. Within a relationship of mutuality and information sharing, Practitioners will promote self-management and opportunities for improved health and wellbeing.

The Peer Practitioner 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 you will be involved in the ongoing development of peer roles and will make a positive contribution to the creation and development of this service.

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.

Please see our Recruitment Pack for full job description and person specification.

- Flexible working
- Cycle to work scheme
