Current vacancies
Youth worker
Family peer network coordinator
We are looking to recruit to this exciting new role within Adoption East Midlands as part of the ongoing development of our commitment to adopter participation and incorporating lived experience into service development and our wider support offer.
This is a newly established post in response to the development of adopter voice participation and lived experience into our service offer.
You will be expected to work creatively alongside AEM staff to develop an adopter peer mentoring service 'Peers4Peers' through the recruitment, development, training and support of experienced adopter peer mentor volunteers. 'Peers4Peers' will enable peer mentors to support adopters at different stages in their adoption journey through 1:1 work, small groups, drop-in sessions, and have a remit to diffuse adopter experience throughout the training offer within the wider service. Peer mentors will provide advice and guidance, whilst acting as a positive role model for people who require their support.
