Peer Mentor

Overview:
It’s often overwhelming for the people we support to make changes in their lives. You can help by donating your time as a Peer Mentor.

With this role you’ll be working as part of the recovery team, based in Crewe.

The team supports people who experience difficulties with substance abuse.

In this role you will be supporting the people who use our services by offering them one-to-one support in the community.

**Responsibilities**:
Whether you’re talking about goals in a coffee shop, or researching job opportunities together in a library no two sessions will be the same. We treat everyone as individual, so being flexible, curious and a good listener are key.

Helping people to take that next step can be a challenge, so in return for your time we will offer you comprehensive training and will ensure that you have someone at the other end of the phone for day-to-day advice and guidance. We will also make sure you have a named supervisor, who you will meet up with regularly.

By volunteering with us you will gain valuable experience and skills, as well as making a real difference.

This is what one of our Peer Mentors had to say:

- “Seeing people move in their treatment journey and seeing a zest in life coming back in their lives is so rewarding”._

Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you we’d love to hear from you so click apply.
