We are Hestia. We make a difference.

At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Young Adults Transition Peer Worker to play a pivotal role in our Integrated Mental Health Service in Haringey.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

As a Young Adults Transition Peer Worker, you will play a vital role in delivering high-quality, person-centred support to young people aged 18–25 who are either transitioning from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) or accessing mental health services for the first time. Drawing on your own lived experience, you will form therapeutic and recovery-focused relationships that empower young people to build resilience, develop independence, and pursue meaningful goals. Your insight and empathy will be central to helping service users navigate this critical stage of their mental health journey.

You will provide consistent emotional and practical support, including accompanying service users to appointments or meetings where additional reassurance or peer advocacy may be beneficial. In collaboration with families, carers, and wider care teams, you will promote continuity and stability, ensuring that young adults are effectively supported as they move into community and adult mental health services. Throughout your work, you will adhere to Hestia's and BEHMHT's policies and procedures, acting as a role model for recovery and demonstrating the possibility of positive change through lived experience.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

Here's what the team will be looking for

You will bring a strong foundation of personal experience, education, and a genuine commitment to supporting others through mental health recovery. You should have a good level of secondary education, ideally to NVQ Level 3 or equivalent, with a willingness to complete the BEH Peer Worker Training and a Wellness at Work plan shortly after starting the role. Your lived experience of mental health challenges and use of secondary care services will be central to your ability to connect with and support others, alongside a practical understanding of recovery principles, stigma, and self-management techniques. You will be confident working both independently and as part of a team, with excellent communication skills and a flexible, reliable approach to supporting young adults in transition. A willingness to travel across Barnet, Enfield, and Haringey and to engage in further training relevant to peer support will also be essential.

Interview Steps

We keep our interview process simple, so you know exactly what to expect.

• Shortlisting call: We have a team of dedicated recruitment specialists who will speak to you about your experience, motivations and values. They will also tell you about all the great work we do!
• Face to face interview: Now you will have face to face interview with the hiring manager. Our interviews are value and competency based.

Don't be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, it's all part of the plan for some of our roles.
