JOB DESCRIPTION/PERSON SPECIFICATION

YOUR APPLICATION

**Job overview**:
**New post within a Perinatal Loss Service**

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Peer Support Worker to be involved in the development and the delivery of the new specialist perinatal loss service in Suffolk. The perinatal loss service is a psychology-led pathway, which specifically aims to provide exceptional, trauma-informed mental health services to perinatal populations who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties in the context of perinatal loss (including miscarriage, termination, neonatal death and still birth). The pathway will sit closely alongside the existing perinatal mental health team in Suffolk.

The team will include a Clinical Psychologist, an Assistant Psychologist, a Peer Support Worker and Specialist Maternity Support assistants in each of the acute Trusts.

This is a great opportunity to advance your career working with Service Users to support them and give them a voice. If you have completed Peer Support Worker training this role will be perfect for you but if you are keen to undertake the role of a Peer Support Worker but not yet trained we will provide the training.

**Main duties of the job**:
The post holder will:

- Be instrumental in the development of the Perinatal Loss Service in collaboration with Maternity Services and the Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Team supporting women who experienced perinatal loss.
- Have ‘lived experience’ of recovery from mental health challenges resulting from perinatal loss and be a vital source of support to other women in their own mental health recovery; providing them with tailored support based on their individual needs.
- Assist women to establish greater control over their lives; help to identify aspects of life that give meaning, hope, value and purpose whilst recognising that an individual’s recovery is a distinct and deeply personal process.
- Provide individual support to women within the service using their own lived experience and role modelling to enhance the therapeutic relationship and enable women to achieve their individual recovery goals.

**Working for our organisation**:
Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other. In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.

**Why work for us?** We have challenges as a Trust, but we have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey. We have strong, established professional networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.

**Why Norfolk and Suffolk? **The people here are warm and welcoming, you’ll never be far from the beautiful coastline or Broads National Park. We’re an hour and a half away from London and have an international airport in Norwich too. Our villages, towns and cities are packed full of history, independent cafes, shops and theatres. We have excellent shopping, eating out, top ranking schooling and affordable house prices too.

**Main Responsibilities**
- To undertake the Care Certificate within the first 12 weeks of employment - or have an existing qualification/programme of learning agreed as meeting wholly or partially, the standards of the Care Certificate
