You will play an essential role in supporting the development of peer support pathways and enhancing culture of involvement, within the Adult Eating Disorders Service.


As a Senior Peer support worker, you will need relevant background knowledge of working in the health, voluntary or social care sector, but the most important knowledge you hold is your own personal experience of mental health difficulties.


You will be a part of truly transforming the delivery of mental health services and making a real difference to people's lives.

Empowering others to challenge any stigma around eating disorders and ensure equal access to services that focus on empowering the individual to feel in control of their treatment and inspired to live a meaningful life.

We are committed to staff development and the post holder will receive regular managerial, clinical, and appropriate peer supervision.

This is a challenging but rewarding role that requires excellent organisational, time management skills.

Employing around 2,800 staff, and serving a population of over 766,000, our people lie at the heart of everything we do.


You could be part of a Trust rated by staff as one of the best mental health and learning disability trusts in England, in an area heralded as a fantastic place to live and work.

We firmly believe the key to high quality care is a contented workforce. This is reflected in our Care Quality Commission rating of 'outstanding' for well-led and 'good' overall.

In the most recent National NHS Staff Survey, our staff rated us as the number one trust nationally for staff morale and one of the top scoring NHS Trusts in the Midlands for being compassionate and inclusive.

We're really proud of this


We are also leading the way in transforming care, with multi-million-pound transformation of patient environments and radical redesign of community services.

This is the time to join and help redesign our services of the future. We offer options for flexible working and provide a wide range of training and promotion opportunities in all professions.

We support and celebrate diversity, have active staff networks groups and are always looking at what more we can do to support our staff.

You will work within a well-established team.

You will be required to work within professional guidelines and the overall Trust policies and procedures to:


  • Inspire hope and belief that having 'a life worth living' is a possibility for others.
  • You will be a valued member of the team who can support us in reflecting about and enhancing the work we do through sharing expertise through your own experience, to enable us to always keep service user needs and perspectives at the heart of what we do.
  • Involve undertaking one to one lived experience specialist support, supporting individuals through transitions between services.
  • Running peer groups to complement the work of the service.
  • Working independently or alongside your colleagues in the eating disorders team
  • Support recruitment, induction, and ongoing development of peer support workers
