Have you experienced psychosis and been supported by an Early Intervention Team? Are you passionate about using your lived experience to help others on their journey to recovery? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
DK Recruitment are partnering with a dedicated mental health charity in Bristol, and they believe that lived experience is one of the most powerful tools in supporting those navigating the early stages of psychosis. They’re looking for an Early Intervention Worker who has been through psychosis themselves, received support from an Early Intervention Team, and has been out of the service for at least two years.
Why this role matters
In this role, you’ll use your experience to offer practical and emotional support, giving others hope, reassurance, and a sense of connection as they work towards recovery.
What you’ll do
- Work directly with individuals experiencing early psychosis, offering encouragement, understanding, and practical support.
- Share your personal journey in a way that inspires hope and empowers others.
- Help people build confidence, develop coping strategies, and reconnect with their communities.
- Work alongside mental health professionals, bringing your unique perspective to shape better support services.
- Lived experience of psychosis and support from an Early Intervention Team (you must have been out of the service for at least two years).
- A deep understanding of the challenges and the recovery journey, with a desire to help others find their own way through.
- Compassion, patience, and the ability to build trusting relationships.
- The confidence to work as part of a team while also taking initiative.
- No formal qualifications needed – just your experience, empathy, and willingness to learn.
- A supportive, understanding team who value your lived experience.
- Full training and ongoing professional development.
- A role where your story can truly make a difference.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. You don’t need a perfect CV or loads of experience—just a passion for supporting others and a willingness to share your journey.
