Full Job Description

  • Provide person-centred, holistic care to people in the care of the Cavell Centre.
  • Tell people about the Heart and Soul service when it is appropriate to, and about opportunities for participating in its activities.
  • Inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible in others through your own example.
  • Encourage people to find their own pathway to wellbeing beyond their hospital experience by sharing information and opportunities for belonging and socially.
  • Find ways, with others, to bring services and support from the wider community into the Cavell Centre, as a first step into life beyond the hospital.
  • Help the Heart and Soul service to understand how it can increase its involvement in the life of the Cavell Centre.
  • Refer individual people in hospital care, and/or carers needing their specialist support, to Heart and Soul chaplains Jane or Mohammed.

    Heart and Soul peer workers represent CPFT's pastoral care and spiritual wellbeing service, and they join the Heart and Soul community of volunteers, specialist chaplains and peer workers.
    • In this role you will be free to act in your own right on behalf of Heart and Soul, and to be creative in how you use your life experience, lived experience and recovery to the benefit of people in our care in hospital. You will be expected to bring a spiritual flavour to what you do - in other words, looking for the meaning in the experience when people reflect with you on what brought them to hospital care in the first place, but also in how they see their future, and to do so very gently. Working for Heart and Soul will appeal to you if you would consider yourself to be a spiritual person, whether that is, or has been, a religious thing or not. Heart and Soul will also appeal to you if you are interested in joining a community populated chiefly by volunteers, most of whom have their own experience of mental health challenges, but who have all come to understand that a spiritual life is one that looks for and explores meaning, and is open to a way of understanding mental health challenges that is complementary to the medical model, and is for some people, much more important than that., Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health & social care organisation dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion to improve the health & wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting & empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services not only via inpatient and primary care setting but also with the community. These services include Children, Adult & Older Peoples mental & physical health, Forensic & Specialist mental health, Learning Disabilities, Primary Care & Liaison psychiatry, Substance misuse, Social care, Research & Development.To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high calibre candidates that share our vision & values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including disabled people & members of our ethnic minorities & LGBTQ+ communities.
