As a Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioner (Peer), you will play a central role in the planning and provision of quality, recovery focused support to people who use the service. A Mental Health & Wellbeing Practitioner (Peer) is someone who supports and enables people to achieve their goals and maximise their potential. Through sharing learning from their own experience, peer workers will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible. Within a relationship of mutuality and information sharing, Practitioners will promote self-management and opportunities for improved health and wellbeing. You will act as a recovery champion within the team and an ambassador of recovery with external agencies and partner organisations. There is also an expectation that the Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner (Peer) will be involved in the ongoing development of peer roles and will make a positive contribution to the reduction in stigma associated with mental health issues.
