Our Vacancy
As a Peer Worker, you’ll be at the heart of your Peabody community, using your lived experience of recovery to make a real and meaningful difference to residents’ lives. No two days will be the same — from offering one‑to‑one support, to leading engaging group activities that help build confidence, resilience, and essential life skills.
You’ll play a vital role in helping residents explore their own recovery techniques, while nurturing hope, acceptance, and a strong sense of belonging. This is a role where your experiences, empathy, and authenticity truly matter.
How You’ll Make a Difference
You’ll support residents in ways that feel meaningful and empowering, meeting people where they are and walking alongside them at their own pace. This may include encouraging someone to connect with local self‑help groups, supporting them to manage day‑to‑day responsibilities, or helping them develop practical coping strategies.
By thoughtfully sharing your own lived experience of recovery in a safe, supportive, and non‑judgemental way, you’ll help build confidence and inspire residents to take positive steps forward. You’ll also work closely with colleagues to deliver group activities and contribute to a supportive, welcoming service environment.
What You’ll Bring With You
- Knowledge of recovery-focused support and/or trauma-informed practice.
- The ability to draw on your own personal recovery experience to help others create and follow through on their own plans.
- Strong skills in motivating others, building rapport, and sharing personal experiences appropriately.
- A compassionate, non-judgemental approach with resilience when managing challenging behaviours.
- A commitment to delivering excellent customer service, including advice on independent living skills and moving on.
- The curiosity and initiative to research, identify, and promote activities that support wellbeing
This is a part-time role working 22.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with flexibility across the working days.
Why Join Us?
When you join Peabody, you’re joining a team guided by our values, Be Kind, Do the Right Thing, Love New Ideas, Celebrate Diversity, Keep Our Promises, and Pull Together . We believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels supported, included, and empowered.
What We Offer
- 25 days’ annual holiday, plus bank holidays (specific number of days for the role)
- two additional paid volunteering days each year
- flexible benefits scheme, including family friendly benefits and access to a discount portal
- 4 x salary life assurance
- up to 10% pension contribution
Please read before applying
- You must be eligible to work in the UK and able to work the full contracted hours of 22.5 hours per week.
- This role will require an enhanced DBS check.
- We may close this advert early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.
If this sounds like we are right for you and you’d love to be part of Peabody, we’d like to hear from you. Please apply now by submitting an anonymised CV and a short statement explaining why you’re the perfect fit for this role.
