Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

We are looking for a person that has lived experience of psychosis, to support the delivery of recovery focused interventions in our Early Intervention Team. As an integral and highly valued member of our multi-disciplinary team, the Peer Support Worker will provide formalised peer support and practical assistance to service users, empowering them to regain control over their lives and their own unique recovery process.

Working collaboratively alongside service users, the Peer Support Worker builds on a person’s own narrative, ability, strengths and their links to social and community services. In the role you will work in partnership with multiple agencies in the community. Peer Support Workers engage with mental health service users to show empathy, share experience, inspire hope and promote recovery with the aim of assisting service users to gain and maintain independence in the community. The Peer Support Worker will assist service users in raising aspirations and developing personal goals, co-produce and co-facilitate groups and increasing individual occupational performance and participation. The role focuses on 'mutuality' i.e. the sharing of personal experience for mutual benefit, and is therefore a unique and highly valued therapeutic intervention
