<h2>Job summary</h2>
  <p>Do you have experience of being a carer for a loved one with complex emotional needs, often associated with a diagnosis of 'personality disorder'?</p>
<p>If so, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Carer Peer Support Worker to work in 'personality disorder' services at Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust.</p>
<p>We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual who will be able to share wisdom, from their own experiences, to inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible in others.</p>
<p>The role will involve working collaboratively with other professionals, to assist in improving the wellbeing of the families that use 'personality disorder' services. This will be achieved by supporting carers directly, by sharing experiences and engaging in practical activities to enable them to feel in control of their lives. The role will also involve providing support to carers' groups and developing and maintaining relationships with several Local Mental Health Teams throughout the Nottinghamshire area.</p>
<p>This job can be emotionally challenging at times, but the successful applicant will receive support, guidance and training from colleagues within the 'personality disorder' team and the wider organisation.</p>



  <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
  <p>To establish supportive relationships with carers and people using mental health services based on the core principles of peer support (mutuality, reciprocity, strengths-focused, safe, progressive, non-directive, recovery-focused and inclusive).</p>
<p>To share personal experiences of caring, recovery and coping to build connection and inform support.</p>
<p>To use active listening skills to help people develop self-understanding and identify their personal recovery goals.</p>
<p>To support others in achieving goals that they have identified for themselves, including signposting to other organisations and opportunities.</p>
<p>To role model recovery, personal responsibility and self-awareness.</p>
<p>To raise awareness of recovery language among Trust staff by modelling positive, strengths based, non-discriminatory, non-jargon, non-medicalised language in all areas of work.</p>
<p>To embrace every opportunity to work with people in a recovery focused way, supporting the community team by undertaking duties that would be a reasonable expectation of the role.</p>
<p>To maintain strengths focused clinical records.</p>
