We are excited to be able to share with you a Peer Support Worker role within our IPS (Individual Placement and Support) team.
Do you have lived experience of Serious Mental Health challenges?
Do you want to support people into meaningful employment?
Do you want to role model recovery and utilise your own recovery journey to inspire hope in others?
If so this role may be just what you're looking for
The IPS service helps people with mental health problems to find and sustain paid employment.
The evidence-based approach was developed in the USA in the 1990s and is now used across the world, and international clinical trials have confirmed its effectiveness.
Within your role as a Peer Support Worker you will be able to share your own valuable experiences of how you overcame any obstacles, to achieve your own career goals and how you continue to move forward in your journey of recovery, offering support and inspiration to others.
As an integral and highly valued member of the IPS service you will be working alongside the Employment Specialists who are based within the Recovery Mental Health Teams, the Early Intervention in Psychosis Service and other Secondary Mental Health Services.
The post holder will be based within the IPS Employment Service and working with direction from the IPS Employment Specialists.
Through sharing your wisdom, from your own experiences, you will inspire hope and belief that Recovery and gaining paid employment is possible in others and you help peers to identify and overcome fears.
Support individuals to attend work related appointments/ interviews.
Help people consider disclosing a disability (or other personal information) to employers, again offering personal experience.
Advocate the benefits of IPS to Clients and Clinical staff.
Attend and participate in the Mental Health team multi-disciplinary team meetings and IPS team meetings.
Work with service users on a 1:1 and/or group basis.
Take a lead role in embedding Recovery values within IPS, and act as an ambassador of Recovery.
At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it. This is the same approach we take for our employees. We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.
Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards. The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.
Our Staff Survey results showed people at our Trust feel they are engaged, part of a team and work for a compassionate and inclusive organisation.
Our overall scores were better than average in eight of nine themes and level in one - the best overall results for a community, mental health and learning disabilities Trust in the south west and first equal amongst all sector NHS providers within the region too.
Please note that this role does not meet the criteria for sponsorship and therefore we are only able to consider applicants with unrestricted right to work in the UK due to the role not currently meeting the UK Government’s Visa's & Immigration's requirements for a Skilled Worker Visa.
Gloucestershire Health and Care is committed to embedding and providing personalised care through all of its services as part of our high-quality care strategy. The purpose of personalised care is to empower people to lead the lives they want to live. Personalised care starts with a conversation with people about what matters to them. It builds on what people can do, as well as addressing their health needs. Including new ways of working and delivering care, emphasising that we need to make effective use of the full range of our people’s skills and experience to deliver the best possible patient care. So we want to know What Matters to You and that you will share our values and join us on this very important journey.
The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.
