Description
Are you someone who wants to use your own lived experience of mental health difficulties to make a genuine difference in the lives of others? As a Mental Health Peer Support Worker (MH PSW) with the Somerset Team for Early Psychosis (STEP), you'll play a powerful and unique role--supporting people at a time when understanding, empathy and hope matter most.
MH PSWs stand out because they bring something no professional training alone can provide: real, personal insight. By drawing safely and thoughtfully on your own journey, you'll help others feel less alone, more understood, and more able to move forward. This work is not about giving advice or replacing clinical roles; it's about walking alongside someone as an equal--listening, exploring, validating, and helping them discover their own strengths and solutions.
In this role, you will build trusting, non-judgemental relationships that help people reconnect, find hope, reclaim their identity, make meaning from their experiences, and feel empowered in their recovery. Working as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, you will use your voice and perspective to champion personal recovery, challenge stigma, and make services more compassionate and inclusive.
If you are ready to turn your lived experience into a strength that uplifts others, we'd love to welcome you into our team.
