Aldershot, United Kingdom Andover Mind Full time

Location: Aldershot area

Hours: 37.5 per week

Salary: £11.96 per hour


Andover Mind is one of the leading mental health providers in Hampshire and we are looking for a caring, committed, empathetic, hard working team player to join us and to contribute to making a real difference as part of our teams working in Hart Rushmoor to deliver services to patients under the Transformation agenda.


As an integral and highly valued member of our MHICS (Mental Health Integrated Community Service) team, this is an opportunity to "give something back" in a positive way by using your own knowledge and experience of living with, and recovering from, mental illness or of caring for somebody who has mental health problems.


An essential element will be using your own personal experience in the appropriate way to provide formalised peer support and practical assistance to people using the service in order for them to regain control over their lives and their own unique recovery journey and to manage their own illness, supporting, encouraging and inspiring them.  


You will help people to focus on achievable goals using a strengths based approach whilst remaining calm and professional in any stressful or challenging situation. In particular, the Lived Experience Practitioner will support the smooth transition of people using the service to other Mental Health services, by helping them to complete recovery and crisis plans for example.


Suitable for someone who is kind, caring and supportive with good interpersonal and communication skills and who is keen to provide the highest quality experience for people using GPiMHS / MHICS


Our benefits include:

  • 27 days holiday, plus bank holidays - rising to 30 days with length of service
  • Vivup membership which includes access to discounts and cashback with hundreds of retailers
  • Competitive sick pay scheme
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Competitive company referral scheme
  • Eye test vouchers
  • Cycle to Work Scheme
  • Enhanced Maternity Leave
  • Ongoing training and development


Please be aware that your application may be shared with the relevant Primary Care Network Recruitment Team who are an Andover Mind third party.  Please inform us should you wish to withdraw your application on these grounds.


We take Safeguarding seriously, therefore you will be required to undergo a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check at the enhanced level before working with us.  Further information can be obtained from www.dbs.gov.uk


We welcome applications from all of the communities in which we work. We also positively encourage applications from people with mental health problems, those who are physically disabled and neurodivergent to apply for a role within Andover Mind. 

Appointments are made on merit.


In accordance with the Equality Act 2010, we do not discriminate, and in line with our equality policy, we are dedicated to building an accurate picture of the make-up of our workforce to ensure we are developing policies and practices that meet the needs of all employees, regardless of their background or personal circumstances.

We'd love your help and cooperation to make this happen so would ask if you can fill in our equality, diversity and inclusion monitoring form, but it's completely voluntary. Don't worry, it is completely confidential and the info you share will be kept and only used for monitoring purposes
