Senior Pharmacist Aseptic Services

<h2>Job summary</h2>
  <p>The Lotus Team supports women and/or birthing people who have experienced psychological distress as a result of their perinatal experiences. This may be due to a traumatic birth or pregnancy experience, pregnancy loss, neonatal death, or being separated from their baby due to social care procedures. The trauma may also exist prior to conception, e.g. when tokophobia (severe fear of birth) prevents a woman from achieving a wanted pregnancy. Women can be eligible for care from the Lotus Team without being pregnant or having their baby with them.</p>  <p>We are looking to recruit a highly motivated individual with lived experience of perinatal mental health challenges relevant to the Lotus Team as a part-time band 3 Peer Support Worker. It is essential for candidates to be willing and able to talk about relevant parts of their experiences and recovery journey with service users. Successful applicants will be required to undertake in-house training to complete and pass the NSFT Peer Support Certificate.</p>



  <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
  <p>As a PSW you will be acting as a role model by using your own lived experience of recovering from mental health challenges, to inspire hope and help service users meet their individualised recovery goals. You will work with service users to help them to develop a belief in their own abilities to deal with various situations; the confidence to have control over their own motivation, behaviour, and social environment and the ability to successfully achieve their goals in life.</p>  <p>The Lotus Team provides care for individuals across Norfolk and Waveney. Our Peer Support Workers conduct home visits and other community-based support and therefore must be able to travel independently across the county.</p>



  <h3>About us</h3>
  <p>Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other. In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.</p> <p><strong>Why work for us?</strong> We have challenges as a Trust, but we have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey. We have strong, established professional networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.</p> <p><strong>Why Norfolk and Suffolk? </strong>The people here are warm and welcoming, you'll never be far from the beautiful coastline or Broads National Park. We're an hour and a half away from London and have an international airport in Norwich too. Our villages, towns and cities are packed full of history, independent cafes, shops and theatres. We have excellent shopping, eating out, top ranking schooling and affordable house prices too.</p>

    <h2>Job description</h2>
    <h3>Job responsibilities</h3>
    <p>The role of carer peer support worker has been developed specifically for people who have supported a friend or loved one who is experiencing mental distress. Carer peer support workers use their experiences of caring to offer empathy, hope and understanding to others. In this role, the carer peer support worker will offer peer support alongside practical assistance to enable people to feel in control of their lives and their own unique recovery process. Within a relationship of mutuality and shared experience, they will promote choice, self-determination and opportunities for the fulfilment of socially valued roles and connection to local communities.</p>
<p><strong>Please note that this post does not meet the pay or skill level required for a Skilled worker visa.</strong></p>
<p>Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health &amp; Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health &amp; Care visa.</p>
