Parent/carer peer support workers provide emotional support and practical assistance to parent/carers whose child/young person is currently open to CYP Mental Health Services. Through drawing from, and sharing, their own experiences a parent/carer peer support worker will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible, and support families to feel hopeful about the future.

Recognising the pivotal role parent/carers play in supporting their child’s mental health, alongside the emotional impact of caring for a child experiencing emotional distress, this role will always involve supporting parent/carers to engage in CYP services, as well as access relevant support in their local community and, where appropriate, link to carer organisations.

As the role will also involve gathering and representing the views of those we work with to improve the service, we are looking for individuals with good communication skills who are passionate about co-producing services with children and families. If you enjoy working as part of a team and want to make a difference in people’s lives, then this may be the opportunity for you.

Please note, applicants will need to be able to travel independently across the county.
