As an integral and highly valued member of the multi-disciplinary team, the Peer Support Worker (PSW) will provide formalised peer support and practical assistance to service users based on their own unique mental health goals.
Through careful sharing of the wisdom from their own lived experience, the PSW will inspire hope and belief that these goals are possible, whilst recognising that each individual’s recovery is a distinctive and deeply personal process. Within a relationship of mutuality, PSWs work with service users to help recognise their strengths, and identify aspects of life that give meaning, hope, value and purpose. They facilitate and support information sharing to promote choice, self-determination and opportunities for the fulfilment of socially valued roles and connection themselves and to local communities.
