Are you passionate about helping people to live a better life? Do you want to work for a charity where your health and wellbeing matter just as much as the people you support? Do you want to be part of a trauma-informed team where you will be supported to develop creative and flexible ways of working?

LinkLiving is a Scottish health and wellbeing charity that supports people to manage or overcome the effects of negative life experiences (including trauma, mental health challenges, poverty and inequality) so that they can build on their strengths and aspirations in order to live their best possible lives. We support people through a range of models including:
The Service
The Better than Well service is delivered by Self-help Coaches who provide help to people over the age of 16 in Fife who have struggled with trauma and have found it difficult to engage with other services. The Peer worker role is an exciting service development which will offer self help, safety and stabilisation group work to clients. Sitting alongside our mainstream Better ThanWell service, this peer led project will provide an alternative option of accessing the service through group sessions.
The Job
The purpose of the job is to deliver Managing Well, our supported self-help groupwork project that sits within our wider Better than Well service.
Better than Well provides up to 8 one-to-one supported self-help sessions to adults who have experienced childhood trauma in Fife, particularly those who have found it difficult to engage with other services. The service is available to all adults who have experienced childhood trauma.
Managing Well is a pilot project which aims to reduce the barriers to accessing services through the provision of group sessions for survivors of childhood trauma. Sitting alongside our mainstream self-help service (Better than Well), this peer-led project will enable survivors the additional option of accessing group sessions through which they will be supported to better understand the impact of trauma on their mental health and to develop emotional self-regulation techniques to better manage mild to moderate mental health issues arising from this trauma.
About You
We're seeking a passionate advocate with a higher education background and a deep understanding of the complex issues facing marginalized communities. The Peer worker will have lived experience of using mental services and be able to use this experience to support others. You'll thrive in collaboration, contributing with open communication, empathy, and a dedication to building positive relationships.
Mental health is your priority, both personally and professionally, with expertise in self-help resources and a commitment to their use. You'll naturally apply a person-centered approach, empowering individuals to find their own strength and navigate challenges.
Proactive well-being management ensures you face any situation with a calm mind and resourceful spirit. Your excellent communication skills adapt to diverse audiences, fostering clear and effective dialogue.
A flexible and practical approach, paired with data management skills, makes you a valuable asset. A current driving license and reliable car provide the reach to support those in need, wherever they may be.
While not essential, experience with self-help techniques like CBT further expands your toolkit.
