Milton Keynes, United Kingdom Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Do you have lived experience of mental health problems and/or the Criminal Justice System/Forensic Services and want to use your recovery journey to support other people facing similar challenges?

This post is recruiting for a Peer Support Worker within Oxford Health Forensic Services. Peer Support Workers (PSWs) are people who have their own lived experience of mental health challenges or have supported someone with mental health challenges. They use empathy informed by their own experiences to support service users and families who are accessing mental health services.
- This post attracts an RSU Lead of £1,446 per annum on top of your annual salary (pro-rata)

This is an exciting new post recruiting for a Peer Support Worker based within the Specialist Community Forensic Team (SCFT) working across Milton Keynes/Buckinghamshire.

A community-based Peer Support Worker will have an allocated caseload, usually offering support over a longer period to service users whist they are under the care of that service.

The core function of this post is to offer peer support to service users within Oxford Health Forensic Service. Peer Support Workers model the recovery principles in their practice, together with personal responsibility, self-awareness and self-care whilst undertaking the duties of the role.

We’re looking for people who are compassionate, can work well in a team, highly motivated and have excellent verbal communication skills. You will be provided with specific Peer Support Worker training and will complete the nationally recognised care certificate in the role.

The Peer Support Worker role sees the introduction of lived experience into everyday practice. Peer Support Workers offer a combination of one to one and group work and will work within the multi-disciplinary team to support a service user’s recovery journey. The post holder will facilitate formal and informal learning, working with staff in clinical practice and supporting clinical teams to develop recovery-based practice.

We are recruiting for a Peer Support Worker based in Milton Keynes/Buckinghamshire who is keen to utilise their skills and lived experience to support new and existing service users in the Forensic mental health community setting on their recovery journey.
