We are seeking interest for VCSE organisations to provide a youth worker with lived experience for the Bedfordshire & Luton Early Intervention in Psychosis service. They will provide peer support for young people aged 14-25 who are currently experiencing or are at high risk of developing psychosis. The workers will have lived experience of psychosis and will be representative of the group they will be working with. They will work as an integrated part of the Early Intervention Team and forge a close working relationship with people participation leads in Bedfordshire. We are looking for the successful organisation to provide two posts at circa 16 hours each, one to cover North Bedfordshire, including Bedford, Flitwick and Ampthill and the other to cover South Bedfordshire and Luton.
