EbE Representative Role (Eastbourne Peer Group)

We are looking for an Expert by Experience (EbE) with a skill or qualification that would lend to running any form of one-off activity for our Early Intervention in Psychosis Peer Power group. We are hoping to run a range of activities for our monthly Early Intervention Service Peer Power group and are appealing to any EbE's who have any particular qualifications or ideas that would lend well to the group.

Our Service Users have suggested a range of activities that they'd be interested in for the group such as fitness, mindfulness, yoga, arts and crafts, creative writing etc. We have access to a large indoor, and potentially outdoor space for activities. We also have some budget allowance for any resources we'd need to purchase for your facilitated activity. If you think you could lend your skills to leading our group through an activity on a one-off basis then we'd love to hear from you and a brief description of what activity you think you could facilitate.

Reference:

HEIP/SW16.07

Duration:

Our group will be running every first Tuesday of the month 1-3pm. We can be flexible around which month you facilitate your activity based on your own availability.

Location:

Defiant Sports Inclusion Hub, Archery Recreation Ground, Archery House, Willoughby Cres, Eastbourne BN22 8RA

Main Purpose: The Early Intervention in Psychosis Peer Power group will be facilitated by our peer support worker, an EbE with lived experience of psychosis, and an additional clinical member of staff. The group will aim to provide a safe, confidential space for service users with lived experience of psychosis to connect with one another and share their experiences as well as engage in additional activities.

Preparation & debriefing details: You will be allotted extra paid briefing time to allow for communication with the Peer Support Worker to plan/organise for the group
