1 ENRICH Peer Support Worker Salary: Contract Type: Holiday allowance: Location: Responsible to: Purpose of the role: 18,559 pro rata Fixed term 13 months, 22.5 hours (9am 5pm, 3 days per week) 25 days per year plus bank holidays pro rata This post will work flexibly between The Cellar Trust s Shipley site, Lynfield Mount Hospital (BD9 6DP) and Airedale Centre for Mental Health (BD20 6TA) as well as supporting people in other community venues across Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven. ENRICH Co-ordinator The Cellar Trust is partnering with Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust (BDCFT) to deliver an innovative new peer support research project called ENRICH. This is a national programme which has already been piloted in a number of other areas of the country and we are now bringing it to Bradford. The role of the ENRICH peer support worker (PSW) has been developed specifically for people who have lived experience of mental distress. Through sharing wisdom from their own experiences, peer support workers will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible in others. The role will work to support discharge from inpatient wards, into community mental health care. The Cellar Trust is one of Bradford s leading mental health charities. We have been supporting the people of Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven for over 30 years and continue to grow and develop our services. In 2016 we launched our Haven Crisis Service in partnership with Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust and Bradford Metropolitan District Council which is part of Bradford s award winning, and nationally recognised crisis care pathway. Key to this service has been the role of peer support and the value of lived experience in the delivery of mental health support. Building on this work we are participating in a national peer support research programme (ENRICH). ENRICH is a one-to-one peer support initiative developed to improve people s experience and outcomes of discharge from mental health inpatient care. We are looking for a part-time peer support worker with previous experience of using mental health services to join our team. You will be passionate about mental health, have excellent interpersonal skills and be committed to supporting other people. This role will require a high degree of flexibility as you will be working between The Cellar Trust, the two acute hospitals and out in the community. Please note that short-listed candidates who are not appointed will also be considered for other peer support roles being advertised including Haven Bank staff and the My Wellbeing College peer support workers. We are a values driven organisation so the way that we work is just as important to us as what we deliver. Our values are: We value and respect diversity We work with hope We believe that we can all learn, develop and grow We are dedicated and committed We are better together

The Cellar Trust is an equal opportunities employer. If you would like to request any reasonable adjustments at interview stage of the recruitment process please specify this in your application. Background on the ENRICH Peer Worker role ENRICH Peer Workers are people with previous experience of using mental health services who are employed, trained and supported to use those experiences to support others during the discharge process. ENRICH Peer Workers begin to meet with service users prior to discharge, continuing to meet with them regularly for four months after they have returned to living in the community. ENRICH Peer Workers receive purpose built training for the role, and supervision and management from an experienced Peer Worker Coordinator (someone who also has lived experience of mental health problems). At the heart of what ENRICH Peer Workers do is the building of safe, trusting relationships based on the sharing of lived experience. The focus of the ENRICH peer support role is on enabling individuals to discover and make use of their own strengths, and to build and strengthen connections to their peers and wider communities. The ENRICH peer support for discharge programme is underpinned by a set of principles of peer support. These principles state that delivery of ENRICH peer support for discharge (including the training, supervision and support provided for peer workers) should: 1. Support the building of safe and trusting relationships based on shared lived experience as fundamental to peer support. 2. Ensure that the values of mutuality and reciprocity underpin peer support relationships. 3. Promote the validation and application of experiential knowledge in the provision of peer support. 4. Enable peers to exercise leadership, choice and control over the way in which peer support is given and received. 5. Empower peers to discover and make use of their own strengths, and to build and strengthen connections to their peers and wider communities. In delivering on all these principles, peer support should respect and support the full diversity of experiences, language, culture, identity and background that people bring, enabling peers to build connections and relationships, and access resources and strengths found in the range of communities with which they identify and belong. Core Responsibilities To provide one-to-one peer support for discharge from psychiatric inpatient care, starting on the ward and continuing in the community. To promote and role model the ENRICH peer support principles. To build safe, trusting relationships with service users based on non-judgmental listening and shared lived experience.
