The Role

Help turn lives around. In this key role you’ll co-operate with relevant partner agencies in the selection, recruitment, deployment and management of Peers across the Bath and North East Somerset. You’ll also facilitate the smooth running of volunteer placements in a way that maximises the skills and talents of our Peers.

Carrying out risk assessments and monitoring the progress of Peers are key aspects of this role.

About You

You will be joining an experienced team that works hard to support each other and deliver an exceptional service for our vulnerable clients.

At DHI we highly value transferable skills and life experience. If you have good organisational skills, can manage relationships, solve problems, and are resilient, adaptable and flexible then we would love to hear from you.

Your background could be from anywhere where you have needed to apply problem solving and motivational skills. Teaching, ex-armed forces, customer service are all examples of just some professions where we believe these transferable skills are often found, or you may have lived experience.

Our Values

We are an award winning charity that challenges social exclusion by supporting people to achieve their potential and our values underpin this.

If you share DHI’s values of stimulation, self- direction and zest for life, then we encourage you to apply.

We look forward to exploring these with you during the interview process should you be successful at the shortlisting stage.

What We Offer

We offer job shadowing for this role as well as training on the policies and procedures that support this post.

As an employee of DHI, you will have also access to our Employee Assistance Programme, our Cycle Scheme, 26 days annual leave and company pension scheme.
