Description

An opportunity to provide peer support to one or more of the six mental health inpatient rehabilitation wards across S London. This service is staffed by people with lived experience, and by sharing their experience and providing social and practical support to people, peer supporters aim to promote recovery, enhance feelings of belonging and hope to those with mental health needs and their families/networks. This support complements other types of support provided through the inpatient rehab team - from for example, psychiatry, occupational therapy, nursing, pharmacy, and support staff. The service will therefore have a presence both on the wards, but also in the community for those who have access for escorted and non-escorted leave. The service will also work alongside the newly introduced substance use service - which will support people with co-occurring mental health and substance use needs. It is important that the services work together to develop a culture of acceptance, moving away from a punitive culture. Peers who have lived experience of recovery from substance use will therefore be instrumental in helping people to recover, and in supporting relapse prevention. This opportunity is available on the Health Family eCommercial System https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome
