PLEASE NOTE ONLY THOSE WHO ANSWER THE QUESTION WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR SHORTLISTING: Do you have directlivedexperience of recovery from mental health challenges and of accessing and accessing a community, primary or secondary mental health service? Please note that this role requires applicants to have lived experience of mental health difficulties and accessing a community, primary or secondary mental health service. Applicants who do not hold this lived experience need not apply. Lived Experience of receiving care from secondary mental health services is essential to fulfil the person specification requirements for this role. We are aware that this role may be based in a team where you are currently being treated. Please be aware that if this is the case, your application will not be disadvantaged but upon beginning employment with us, a transfer of care to another team (or potentially organisation) will be coordinated to ensure safe working for your care and employment needs. Similarly, if you need community mental health services input whilst in role, we would arrange a transfer to another team to separate your care and your employment. This is in line with our organisational practices for all staff working at MPFT. Please note, we may be required to close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications.
