The Hepatitis C Trust delivers national peer-led projects where people with lived experience of injecting drug use and hepatitis C support others through testing, referral, and treatment. Our peers also provide targeted education and training within drug and alcohol, hostel, and homelessness services to raise awareness and improve access to care.

Do you have experience driving vans and travelling long distances? Have you worked with people affected by substance misuse? Have you lived with hepatitis C yourself or supported someone who has? We’re looking for a reliable, compassionate van driver with strong communication and organisational skills. We require a good standard of education, particularly in relation to working with vulnerable groups, and we value creativity and innovation in everything we do.

Working under the direction of the North East & Cumbria Peer Programme Manager (PPM), this role supports the delivery of the mobile clinic across the North East and Cumbria Operational Delivery Network. You will work closely with hepatitis C clinical teams, drug and alcohol services, and homeless service providers to facilitate daily mobile outreach clinics. A core part of the role involves supporting patients as they attend appointments with the nursing team on the van, as well as providing harm reduction advice and encouragement to engage in care.

The post also carries lead responsibility for driving the mobile clinic vehicle and will involve extensive travel across the region. The van is based in Newcastle and must be collected and returned there each day. A clean, current driving licence is preferred.
