The key purpose of the Peer Support Coordinator role is to lead a Peer Support Service within the Southwark Wellbeing Hub, part of Together for Mental Wellbeing.

Peer Supporters are volunteers with their own lived experience of mental distress. Peer Supporters actively use these shared lived experiences as part of the support that they offer.

You will promote service user leadership, ensuring that service users influence the development of the peer support in order to enrich people's journey towards recovery and life fulfilment.


You will:

  • Develop, coordinate and support the evaluation of service user led peer support within the service.
  • Support Peer Support Volunteers and/or Peer Support Workers to deliver peer support that is grounded in Together's Peer Support model, principles, and organisational values.
  • Draw on your own lived experience of mental distress to support the implementation, ongoing development, and delivery of peer support in the service and across Together


The role of the Peer Support Coordinator involves autonomous, mobile working in the community alongside engagement with a fast-paced team.

This role will require occasional evening and weekend working.
