Peer Support Worker in Nottingham inNottingham PUBLISHED TUE 11 NOV 2025 Jump to job information section

As a Peer Support Worker with Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust based at Highbury Hospital, Bulwell (NG6), you will use your lived experience of mental distress and recovery to support people across GP practices in Nottingham City. This permanent Band 3 role (salary £24,937–£26,598 per annum, pro rata for part‑time) sits within community multidisciplinary teams, where you will build mutual, strengths‑based relationships, share practical coping strategies, use active listening to help people set and reach their own recovery goals, contribute to care plans, offer support with everyday living and maintain strengths‑focused records. The Trust will support your development through the Peer Support Development Unit and peer group supervision — you’ll act as a recovery champion both within the team and with partner organisations, helping shape peer roles across services.

This opportunity will particularly suit women and carers who bring empathy, resilience and insight from their own recovery journey and want meaningful work that values those skills. Essential requirements include lived experience of recovery, completion (or willingness to complete) Peer Support Worker training, ability to travel to community locations, basic manual handling and de‑escalation skills, good communication and IT literacy, and a commitment to the Trust’s values of trust, honesty, respect, compassion and teamwork. Please note the post does not meet the pay threshold for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship and a DBS check is required (the cost is deducted from salary).
