Working as part of the new service, it will be your role to support the mental wellbeing and act as a mentor for those within the criminal justice system.

Those who come into contact with the criminal justice system are far more likely to have unmet health and social care needs than the general population. By understanding and addressing those needs, we can reduce reoffending and help our service users on their recovery journey.

The role is primarily will be based within the Liaison and Diversion pathway, however with potential to rotate into other areas of the service.

This will be a fixed term position for 2 years.

The Peer Worker must also be abstinent from all illicit substances, in active recovery for a minimum of 6 months and not to have been involved in offending for at least 12 months. We encourage you to ring and discuss this is you have any questions or concerns.

Peer Support Workers work as part of the IOH community pathway and work in collaboration colleagues within the team. Peer Support Workers engage with IOH service users to show empathy, share experience, inspire hope and promote recovery with the aim of assisting service users to gain and maintain independence in the community. The role of the Peer Support Worker is focused around supporting an individual to become work ready. The Peer Support Worker will assist service users in raising aspirations and developing personal goals, with the aim to be supported and increase further social capital.
