Job description

Peer support is an essential part of South East London Mind and we have Lived Experience Support Workers (LESWs) based in the Southwark Primary Care Mental Health Teams (PCMHT), assisting in a community mental health model in Southwark with a focus on integrated care. Working alongside and complementing the mental health care provided by South London and Maudsley NHS colleagues in the Multi-Disciplinary Teams, LESWs offer a strengths-based holistic approach with empathy and understanding, providing their clients with more pathways to recovery and accessing the right interventions and support based on their individual needs. They also support clients to develop and maintain independence in their local community, promoting resilience, building life skills, and a strengthened ability to cope with challenges and play a more active role in the management and sustainability of their wellbeing.

We are currently recruiting for a Lived Experience Support Worker based at the Chaucer Resource Centre, 13 Ann Moss Way, London, SE16 2TH. The postholder will have lived experience of mental health challenges themselves and experience of supporting and/or managing a vulnerable client cohort caseload within a clinical environment.

The role will involve:

  • Working alongside a Multi-Disciplinary Team in the South London and Maudsley NHS Southwark Primary Care Mental Health service, managing and providing recovery-orientated support to a diverse caseload of clients with mental health diagnoses.
  • Offering clients tailored, holistic support with empathy and understanding to empower them to develop a more active role in the management of their wellbeing and resilience and a strengthened ability to cope with ongoing challenges.
  • Supporting clients to develop and maintain independence and confidence in their local community and social situations, building life skills, confidence, resilience, and self-esteem.
  • Engaging clients in peer support sessions and offering appropriate and holistic advice, information, and signposting and helping them to navigate the support that may be available to them in their local communities.

Successful applicants will be expected to undergo an Enhanced Level Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Closing date: Sunday 30th March (11:59pm)

Likely interview date: Monday 21st April at Chaucer Resource Centre, 13 Ann Moss Way, London, SE16 2TH

We encourage early applications as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if we receive a high number of applications.

Previous applicants (within the last 12 months) need not apply
