Peer Support Worker

Turning Point's Bi-Borough Drug and Alcohol Wellbeing Service is recruiting a Peer Support Worker in Hammersmith and Fulham. The service helps people live independently of substance use, looking at drugs, alcohol, mental health, housing, work and education.

What you'll do:

• Work alongside Recovery Workers to help people find person-centred support
• Act as an advocate, mentor and coach, helping people reach their treatment goals
• Keep regular contact, give advice and information, and help people access community support
• Use your own lived experience to give hope and encouragement

This role is aimed at people with lived experience of the issues service users face, and is a good step up from volunteer peer mentoring. Good communication and flexibility are important; training is provided.

Pay starts at £28,405 and rises with annual progression to £32,318 (including Inner London Weighting of £3,633). 37 hours a week, permanent. Turning Point also offers 25 days' paid holiday plus bank holidays, rising with service to 27, and the option to buy extra holiday.

Closing date: 17 November 2026 (the advert may close early).
