- Develop, co-ordinate 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
