Crynodeb
Although we have three great teams with some of those most compassionate, skilled and humorous staff you can meet, we also work within a challenging environment. Sadly, psychosis is all too often accompanied by significant past trauma and current risk. We will never get used to hearing about the horrible things that have happened to many of our service users. Nor will we ever forget or fully recover from the all to regular trauma of losing people to suicide, accidents or violence. Sadly, those are part of our working lives. So in addition to the joyous highs of being able to support and witness amazing people do amazing things, you also need to decide whether you can survive and thrive within a mental health system that has a long way to go in terms of effectiveness and all too often involves hearing about or experiencing traumatic information and events. Whilst you will be surrounded by a team that cares about and supports each other, it's also a very busy environment where most of us see each other first thing in the morning (we start at 9am each day) and then are largely out and about on separate paths throughout the day. You will be working on your own alongside service users or relatives sometimes. More often however you will be working in pairs alongside a colleague, visiting families and helping them through good times and bad. Each team covers a large area, so it is a big advantage to have your own transport or lots of comfort and confidence in using public transport across the city. As the Peer Support Worker role is reserved for people with personal experience of mental health difficulties, it will be known that you have a service user history because of your job title. Whilst service users and families tend to benefit greatly from hearing a staff member with lived experience taking from a position of first hand experience, it will be you in charge of how open you are about your personal and past experiences. No Peer Support Worker is obligated to talk about their personal experiences if they do not want to. So, if you've got personal experience of mental health difficulties, are keen on a job in mental health and up to the challenge of working three days a week in our community mental health team, then please apply. In the personal statement part of your application, please make it clear which location you want to be based in (i.e. Chorlton House for south and central Manchester or Central Park in North Manchester). And for anyone who gets nervous about interviews (who doesnt), we give everyone the interview questions10 minutes before the interview, so you can prepare answers and hopefully feel reassured that there are no tricky questions. Please see attached job description and specification for further information.
