Our peer support service will support the Changing Futures programme in Sheffield, and will be focused on people’s hopes and aspirations. We want people receiving peer support to be able to connect easily with us, to feel listened to, to grow their skills, and to thrive.

You’ll provide high quality peer support, developing good relationships and acting as a consistent presence and advocate, to enable people to progress towards their own recovery goals.
