This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a ground-breaking approach to mental health services. Thrive Edinburgh brings together a collaboration of partner organisations to work together to improve the mental health and wellbeing of the people of the city. The aims of Thrive Edinburgh centres around enabling people to live well and fulfil their potential. The service is a partnership with other third sector organisations and the NHS. Our organisations share a commitment to the Thrive vision and values of trust; respect; collaboration; person-centeredness; innovation; and compassion. Together we will deliver a multi-disciplinary and multi-agency response to people, so people receive the right help at the right time.

In this role you would be a Peer Practitioner, supporting people on a one-to-one basis using your own knowledge, experience and own learning of having mental ill health and navigating services - and to share tools that were helpful in your own recovery.

The team consists of Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Support Workers, and Peers who provide around 6-8 1:1 support sessions, working with the person to help them achieve their goals and a better quality of life.

The service operates Monday to Friday 9am-5pm.

As a mental health charity, we really value the wellbeing of our staff. That’s why we want you to know that you’ll be joining a friendly team, who will give you a supportive environment to help you thrive in your role, including all the training you need to feel confident and equipped.

We can offer you a tonne of employee benefits, and we can promise you’ll be inspired by some pretty amazing humans every single day. We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.
