Are you looking for a new and exciting challenge? Do you have experience of working within health services and with volunteers? Do you have personal experience of hepatitis C or substance use or are you passionate about harm reduction services?
The Hepatitis C Trust develops projects nationally where peers use their lived experience of injecting drug use and hepatitis C to support people who have similar backgrounds.
Working collaboratively with the local Substance Misuse Service in the area, we are expanding this commitment through the addition of a Harm Reduction Peer Support Coordinator to support the delivery of a peer led Harm Reduction service in this area alongside the existing team.
We are looking for a self-motivated individual who can work on their own, engage with stakeholders and have a desire to make a difference through the delivery of the service. The postholder will be responsible for recruiting and supervising peers with lived and living experience and facilitating primary and secondary needle and syringe distribution across the area.
We welcome creativity and innovation in all our work. We are a patient-led organisation – you will be working in an environment where the patient/service user/client is placed at the centre of all that you do.
