Bucks Service User Network
3 months ago
Peer Support Workers (PWS’s) are people who have their own lived experience of mental health challenges. They use empathy informed by their own experiences to support service users who are accessing mental health services and their families.
The SUN facilitator with lived experience will be working closely with mental health practitioners to deliver regular Service User Network (SUN) groups in different community-based locations across Buckinghamshire.
The SUN is an initiative aimed at improving services for people with personality disorders. The SUN provides community-based, open access peer support groups and aims to help people develop effective ways of coping, reduce emergencies and improve access to appropriate services.
Those accessing the SUN may or may not have a formal diagnosis of personality disorder however, all members will have experienced longstanding emotional difficulties, isolation and are very likely to demonstrate unhelpful patterns of behaviour that negatively impact on the quality of their lives.
This job purpose is not exhaustive and there may be additional duties associated with the wider Personality Disorder service development initiative which will be negotiated as required with the line manager.
