Peer Coordinator – My Health Matters

Location: Manchester Hub - working across Greater Manchester 

Contract type: Fixed Term until 31st March 2027

Salary:  Grade 3 - £32,585 per annum  working out as £26,068 pro rata for 28 hours a week

Hours: Part time – 28 hours per week

Closing Date: Monday 20th April 2026 at 11.30pm

This role is ring-fenced for those with lived experience of multiple disadvantage. 

Are you dedicated to empowering people with experience of homelessness? Do you have excellent communication interpersonal skills and a commitment to overcoming barriers to healthcare faced by those with lived experience?

Join Shelter and you could soon be playing a vital role helping people who are affected by the housing emergency.

About The Role

You will be supporting the Project Coordinator to deliver the My Health Matters project for Manchester and will facilitate the delivery of the Homeless Health Peer Advocacy by coordinating a team of lived experience peer advocates to deliver 1-2-1 advocacy style support to those experiencing homelessness. You will help to recruit and train volunteers and support them with their progression goals. The role includes case management of My Health Matters clients including managing referrals, quality assuring support work and coordinating the project’s drop-in network. The post will be based in our office at Swan Street but will require travel across Greater Manchester. In addition, occasional travel to other cities including possible overnights may be required.

About You

You understand the barriers to accessing healthcare faced by people who are experiencing homelessness and can form professional relationships with peer advocates and Homeless Health Peer Advocacy clients, all the while following relevant guidance and safeguarding procedures.

You empower those with lived experience through your excellent interpersonal and communication skills and empathetic approach and you are as comfortable working collaboratively as you are working independently.

Most importantly, you are dedicated to developing your skills to support others in the role and committed to Shelter’s purpose and values of equality and social inclusion.

Benefits

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension, and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme, and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support, and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

About The Team

My Health Matters is a peer-led health inclusion project, working towards an inclusive health system where everyone has access to the health care they need, supporting people experiencing homelessness to address both physical and mental health issues. We work to improve people’s confidence in using health services and increase their ability to access healthcare independently and  bring together frontline health and social care services with those with lived experience supporting the co-production of solutions to health inequalities in Manchester.

About Shelter

Home is a human right. It’s our foundation and where we thrive. Yet everyday millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.

We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.

We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. To win this fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, equitable and transparent. We are committed to combating racism both within and outside Shelter. We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist.
