Treatment Service Volunteer/Peer

About the Volunteering Opportunity

We are recruiting Volunteers and Peers across our Treatment Services, which cover Bristol, BNES, Wiltshire and South Gloucestershire.

DHI Peers are trained individuals who use their own lived experience to support others. Peers will be able to access the DHI Peer Academy - a programme of tailored learning, which can result in accredited qualifications and wide-ranging work experience.

We also offer fantastic opportunities for learning for those in higher education requiring placements and provide valuable experience in the sector to support career progression.

We are looking for people who are interested in working within a variety of services including Young Peoples, Criminal Justice, Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol, Smoking Cessation and our FAM service.

Our teams are vibrant and dedicated and work closely with schools, courts, prisons and community partners to provide compassionate, evidence-based psychological support.

These roles are about creating real opportunities for recovery by helping people experiencing difficulties rebuild their lives, reduce harm, and reconnect with their communities.

You’ll be supporting people facing complex needs, including co-existing substance use and social exclusion, working in a trauma-informed and culturally responsive way that reflects our diverse communities and values each person’s lived experience.
