We have two exciting new job opportunities, to join SHP's highly successful Peer Mentor team. We are currently seeking two individuals, to fill the roles of Peer Mentor Volunteer Coordinators and lead on the delivery of a local peer mentoring programme, as well as supporting organisational-wide peer support initiatives.
SHP (Single Homeless Project) is one of London's leading homelessness prevention charities and a dynamic and growing organisation changing 8,000 lives every year across London - from supporting people in crisis, to helping them take the final steps towards independence and employment.
Your specialist knowledge of the issues facing those in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction and/or those who have accessed the criminal justice system, will enable you to provide high quality support and develop opportunities for Peer Mentor volunteers.
Coupled with your experience of designing and delivering training, this will allow you to support the ongoing development of a Peer Mentor scheme in Camden and Islington. The role is very varied and involves leading on the recruitment of new volunteers, delivering training as well as the ongoing supervision of a Peer Mentor team.
The successful applicant will be expected to have a specialism focusing either on peer support within drug and alcohol recovery or support for those that accessed the criminal justice system.
These roles require enthusiasm, commitment and a solution focused approach. It is a fantastic opportunity to further develop your supervisory skills, work closely and effectively with partners, stakeholders and internal contacts and to also work creatively in response to the needs of the organisation.
Our attractive benefits package includes:
- A salary increase after successfully completing six months.
- A 37.5 hour working week including flexible working hours (core hours are 10am - 4pm) in non-accommodation services
- 25 days annual leave, increasing annually to the maximum 30 days (plus paid Bank Holidays),
- A contributory pension scheme: SHP will contribute the equivalent of 5% of your annual salary
- Staff Health Cash Plan and discounts scheme
- Comprehensive and integrated training programme designed specifically to develop the skills and knowledge involved in our work
