For Scotland’s Mental Health
About the Role
SAMH are recruiting to the posts of Peer Wellbeing Practitioners. This is an exciting new role for people with a lived experience of mental health issues and their own recovery journey.
Peer Wellbeing Practitioners will be a dual role, embedded within Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT) working as a team to support individuals accessing the service in a hospital in-reach, home and community-based settings. The CMHTs provide specialist multi-disciplinary interventions for people with significant mental health difficulties, where there is a complexity of difficulties and / or risk to self and / or others.
Peer Wellbeing Practitioners use their own lived experience of mental health issues to support service users in a recovery focussed way using goal setting and person-centred approaches. Using formalised peer support models they will enhance the support provided to the individual by developing mutually empowering relationships. There is an expectation that Peer Wellbeing Practitioners will have experience of supporting individuals. Practitioners will facilitate group work or individual sessions that will aid individuals in their recovery journey.
Peer wellbeing practitioners will offer a proactive approach, working with people in communities of diversity and will have a strong people focussed values base. Peer Wellbeing Practitioners are role models of recovery and will have responsibility for working in a professional, boundary manner that values this asset.
