Lincoln, United Kingdom Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An opportunity has arisen to work within Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust as a Perinatal Family Hub Senior Peer Support Worker (PSW). “Mental health PSWs give support, companionship and encouragement to people experiencing mental health difficulties. A quality that makes them stand out from other staff is that MH PSWs draw directly on their own lived experiences of mental health”. (The Competency Framework for mental health peer support workers 2020).

As a Senior PSW you will be role modelling and using your own lived perinatal mental health experience to support individuals through the delivery of specific online perinatal mental health courses as well as offering time limited sessions or group work within the Family Hubs of Lincolnshire. You will be the key link to the Recovery College where you will be able to communicate what individuals accessing the Family Hubs are requesting in relation to specific educational courses around mental health and wellbeing. These courses will then be co-produced and co-delivered via a digital offer.
