Do you have experience of using mental health services? Would you like to use these experiences to support other people and their families receiving these services? Can you inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible - empowering our service users to achieve their hopes, dreams and goals?
We are looking to recruit a Senior Peer Facilitator with lived experience of using mental health services to join our Early Intervention Service. The role has been developed specifically for people who have lived experience of recovery from mental health challenges and experience of personally accessing inpatient mental health services or secondary care community mental health services.
Senior Peer Facilitators will have experience of providing peer support to mental health service users. This important role will help us to develop a supportive peer network across the Early Intervention service locality by enhancing the recruitment, training and mentorship of Peer Facilitators. You will play a key role in developing Trust wide understanding of the role of Peers in achieving excellent person centred care, as well as promoting recovery principles and education.
If you have experience of working as a peer and are looking to develop your skills further whilst championing the importance of lived experience, we would love to receive an application from you to join our innovative Early Intervention service.

We actively challenge discrimination and welcome applications from all, regardless of age, disability (including those with experience of accessing or caring for someone who has accessed mental health or learning disability services), ethnicity, gender, religion, belief, or sexual orientation. Our aim is to reflect the communities we serve, so we particularly encourage applications from under-represented groups.
If you’d like to discuss your application, please ask. We also welcome individuals with lived experience relevant to the role or service area, as your insight brings authenticity to our services.
