AshtonUnderLyne, United Kingdom Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to develop the new Community Rehabilitation Team to support service users experiencing complex psychosis. The team will support service users who are ready to step down from inpatient facilities to the community. The aim of the team is to reduce the length of inpatient stay for service users from acute and rehabilitation wards, incorporating least restrictive practice, the NICE guidelines for complex psychosis and the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) national program.

You will receive regular supervision and your personal development priorities will be shared and supported through our appraisal process. You will have the opportunity to contribute and shape this exciting and rewarding new initiative in collaboration with the wider team.

To support people who are receiving care and treatment from the Community Rehabilitation Team, by sharing knowledge from their own lived experience, inspiring hope and optimism, to demonstrate that a positive and meaningful life is possible.

To provide support in accessing a wide range of structured activities to include social, leisure activities, vocational and educational programs to promote and support individual well-being.

We are proud to provide high quality mental health and learning disability services, both inpatient and in the community across five boroughs of Greater Manchester - Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside and Glossop.

Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services. We're really proud of our #PennineCarePeople and do everything we can to make sure we're a great place to work.

The peer support worker will act as a recovery champion and an ambassador of recovery across inpatients and community settings.

Through sharing wisdom from their own experiences, the peer support worker will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible in others.
- Support and promote recovery as a user led concept
- Emphasise hope and optimism, individual aspirations and goals
- Value experiential learning
- Focus on strengths rather than deficits
- Foster collaboration between those who need support and those who support them as an alternative to coercion
- Enable and promote autonomy and self-management

To act as a positive role model, showing professional and caring attitudes and behaviour towards service users, their families and carers, and colleagues, demonstrating the trust values.

To assist service users in creating a care plan to maintain their wellbeing and achieve their agreed goals and outcomes.

Tp ensure your peer’s goals are integrated and are reviewed on a regular basis, liaising with the multi-disciplinary team as necessary.

To communicate effectively with individuals and their carers.
