About The Role

As a Peer Support Co-ordinator, you will be responsible for the ongoing implementation and development of the Homicide Peer Support Service in line with the service delivery model. The Homicide Service Peer Support is delivered across England and Wales by volunteers, via a variety of methods.

As a Peer Support Coordinator, you will manage a number of Peer Support volunteers who have lived experience of bereavement through homicide. You will support them to use their experience to help others who are also bereaved and/or those who are eyewitnesses. This will involve monthly supervision and regular communication to ensure they are up to date with service procedures and developments.

You will have experience of working in a trauma-informed way, with empathy and compassion. You might have a background in therapeutic practice with individuals or groups, or have experience as a caseworker with victims of high-harm incidents. You might have experience in delivering or facilitating peer support in other areas, such as mental health settings, substance misuse rehabilitation, or with trafficking victims. Whatever your background, you will have good personal resilience, and be able to make effective use of supervision to manage your well-being. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of bereavement through homicide for this role. We also particularly welcome applications from members of the BAMER community as this group is currently under-represented within our staff team.

You will be home-based and will need to have the skills to work independently, as well as be part of a team. There will be occasional travel for team meetings and face-to-face support events. You will typically work Monday to Friday, 9 – 5, with the flexibility to work occasional evenings and weekends to facilitate groups.
