The Hepatitis C Trust has developed projects nationally whereby peers use their lived experience of injecting drug use and hepatitis C to provide education and training to service users and staff in drug and alcohol, hostel, and homeless services, increasing hepatitis C awareness, access to testing, and referral to treatment for people living with hepatitis C.
We are looking for a passionate and skilled peer lead who has excellent communication and organisational skills. This project has been commissioned in partnership with Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council to focus upon the community of Sefton and work in strong collaboration with the local substance misuse provider in this region.
Working under the guidance of the Peer Programme Manager for Cheshire and Merseyside, this post will continue the development of the project, recruiting and coordinating peers across Sefton, with a focus on supporting the local substance misuse services. The role involves:
1. Coordinating delivery of educational workshops.
2. Facilitating hepatitis C testing in community settings.
3. Ensuring that service users are referred and supported through hepatitis C treatment and care.
This post will require extensive travel across the region; it is desirable that the post holder has a clean driving licence and their own vehicle for work-related travel.
