Do you have lived experience of mental ill health?
Are you able to use this experience, your knowledge and skills, to support another person in their recovery journey?
Our Peer Support Service works with people just coming out of Foss Park Hospital, as well as supporting people in the community with ‘unmet’ Mental Health (MH) needs. Having support from someone who ‘really knows what MH is like’-can make all the difference!
We are looking for peer supporters from a range of backgrounds and experiences, so please don’t think this is not you – you might be exactly the type of person we are looking for. Our team at York Mind will provide you with full training and ongoing support.
As a peer supporter, you would provide 1-1 support to individuals leaving Foss Park Hospital, or via our York Mental Health Hub offer. This support could be for a range of issues, including improving the person’s health and wellbeing, access to community activities, helping to tackle loneliness, or just being a listening ear. Flexibility is key in this role.
This is an exciting opportunity for people who have a genuine interest in using their lived experience to support others, enjoy working as part of a team, and wish to be part of a new way of working in York.
Successful applicants are required to attend York Mind`s compulsory training and be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS).
