Peer Support Worker (Manchester Living Well)

Peer Support is a vital part of the Manchester Living Well Service. Having a focus on lived and living experience within the team is both powerful and essential. Manchester Mind employs the Peer Support Worker, based in the Living Well South Team (Wythenshawe).  We are working in partnership with Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust and other voluntary sector partners – a real chance to make a difference. Would you like to be a part of that?

Working differently is a key part of Living Well and lived experience within the service delivery drives that understanding and empathic approach we work to achieve. As a Peer Support Worker, you will be supporting people one to one, working alongside colleagues from other partner organisations to build kind and trusting relationships, ensuring people feel heard and that choice and control remains central to their experience.
