Are you ready to make a positive impact on mental health services in Birmingham?
Our client is seeking an enthusiastic and compassionate individual to join their organisation as a Peer Mentor. As a Peer Mentor you will need to have living experience of mental health difficulties and have gained a level of insight into your mental health experience and be ready to talk about them openly. It is important that applicants have reached a period of stability and can manage their mental health and wellbeing, for them to be ready for this role. They are looking for someone who is ready to use their experience to support and inspire service users in their recovery journey. Peer Mentors will support service users on their emotional journey, and form therapeutic alliances to share ways of coping, understanding and nurturing hope and inspirations.
You will need to have excellent communication skills, with a good understanding of the individual recovery journey and the issues facing people suffering with mental health difficulties. They need a Peer Mentor who is able to share the values of our organisation and is passionate about their vision of “Better Mental Health for All” in Birmingham.
You would be joining their Intensive Community Rehabilitation service, a multi-disciplinary team ran jointly with the Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust. You will be supporting service users primarily with bipolar, schizophrenia and psychosis, among other additional mental health diagnosis, who are living in their own accommodation and require a period of intense rehabilitation. Support will be provided in the service users own home, as well as community and hospital settings throughout the Birmingham area when required. The team is made up of both clinical and psychological professionals, and internal staff, and applicants must be ready to work co-operatively within a multi-disciplinary team. The service runs from 9am-8pm, and some evening and weekend work is required.
Joining them means joining a diverse workforce, and an organisation that values living experience of mental distress. They are proud of their inclusive environment, and the support they provide to their staff as well as their service users.
All employees have access to affordable healthcare cover through paycare, a defined contribution pension scheme and access to free counselling and support through their 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme. They also offer a comprehensive training programme, with an additional peer mentoring specialised induction.
They are able to offer one full-time contract and one part-time contract to successful candidates.
