Peer Support Worker with Mental Health Matters, based in Warrington (WA2) with roles also covering Halton (Runcorn & Widnes). This is a part‑time, fixed‑term post (18 months) of 18 hours a week (3 x 6‑hour evening shifts) supporting a new local mental health service that runs 6pm–midnight. You will work alongside Crisis Recovery Workers in a welcoming, non‑clinical setting providing free, recovery‑focused support to people in crisis. The role is built on lived experience — either your own experience of mental health challenges or caring for someone with mental health needs — and involves active listening, empathetic one‑to‑one support, helping people with self‑management, and liaising with colleagues and partner agencies. A DBS check is required and applicants for Halton posts must be able to drive.
