We are looking for peer supporters with lived experience of mental health, to join our team providing online support to people living with borderline personality disorder.
Peer support workers help us to provide support to hundreds of people through our online support groups. Our groups run throughout the month, with specialist groups for men, women, LGBTQIA, families and young persons.
The Role
This role involves co-facilitating online support groups of around 8-10 people on a monthly or fortnightly basis, or co-facilitating online groups in blocks of 6 themed sessions. The peer support worker will help keep the groups a safe, supportive space for people living with borderline personality disorder to get support. Peer support workers may also get involved in assessments, 1:1 support or signposting where necessary.
Qualifications and experience
At least three years experience of working with vulnerable service users in a mental health context, ideally with some knowledge of trauma.
Key Skills
Our service users have told us that these groups are a vital source of support, providing them with ongoing support and a reassurance that there are safe and supportive spaces available for as long as they need them.
