Peer Support Worker

4 weeks ago

Whitchurch, United Kingdom Cardiff and Vale University Health Board Full time

This is a new and innovative opportunity for a carer peer support worker to join Solace. The central aim of Solace is to support unpaid carers and those they care for, by meeting their changing needs through listening and adapting support that is offered in the form of emotional support, education and information. This is met by means of face-to-face meetings, support groups or by telephone. The role will endeavour to enhance current service provision from a position of lived experience of supporting an individual with a diagnosis of Dementia. The carer peer support worker will engage with unpaid carers in a co-productive style to understand their current personal experience of caring and be able to represent and be a voice for all carers. This will entail supporting unpaid carers to contribute to service development, developing links across third sector organisations that support carers, eg, care collective and representing carers within MHSOP.

The Recovery and Wellbeing College is the first co-produced, peer led service in the NHS in Wales. The College offers an educative setting for students who include service users, people with lived experience, family members, carers and professionals, to develop knowledge and skills to support with mental health challenges and overall wellbeing. The three guiding principles of the College, hope, control and opportunity are central to the way peer support and co-production happen within the college. All courses are co-designed and co-delivered by professionals and peers. The CPSW will be expected to contribute to the development of courses that specifically aim to support unpaid carers in the caring journey.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is one of the largest Integrated Health Boards in the UK, employing over 15,000 staff, providing over 100 specialist services. Working across 6 hospital sites, we have a diverse range of career opportunities to offer. Serving around 500,000 people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, we are focussed on the health and care needs of our local population whilst working with our partners to develop regional services.

As an organisation we are unashamedly ambitious for our population’s health, rising to the challenges of today and tomorrow through our 10-year strategy, Shaping our Future Wellbeing. We are contributing to a healthier Wales with great emphasis placed on innovation and improvement, learning from around the world and leading the way in clinical research. Partnership working is strong at Cardiff and Vale, and we work closely with our staff and our community.

Cardiff, the thriving Welsh capital, is a fantastic city to live and work in with an abundance of sports, arts and cultural attractions. Situated to the west of Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan offers a combination of beautiful Welsh countryside and a dramatic natural coastline. Whether city life or rural living, Cardiff and the Vale offers the best of both worlds.
