The project will focus on engaging, helping, and providing opportunities for people who have experienced rape, sexual and domestic abuse to overcome social isolation and loneliness by taking part in therapeutic peer support groups and social/activity groups to develop confidence, resilience and new skills.

The Community Engagement officer will facilitate the groups working with people with lived experience to design and deliver activities within the community. They will work in partnership with other agencies and organisations to support people to access different opportunities.

They will also be responsible for the development of Birchalls B-friending service where people with lived experience will have the opportunity to train to become peer mentors, who will support other Birchall service users to build their confidence and resilience to overcome personal barriers to accessing services

We are looking for a dynamic, creative person who has the initiative to drive this exciting opportunity forward. You will be confident when working with different stakeholders, tailoring your approach. You will need to project manage competing priorities whilst keeping tabs on data and reporting outcomes

You will work in a trauma informed way to proactively engage people with lived experience to attend therapeutic and social groups, supporting them to co-design what these groups look like, effectively communicating with potential participants to give programme information, support and encourage engagement.
