You will work across several NHS Trusts in Southeast and Southwest London, where you will be working to deliver Peer Support interventions to a wide variety of clients living with HIV, with emphasis on those with under-served needs.

Programme

As part of the HIV Peer Support Mentoring Network team, you will work with key clinical partners across London hospitals to deliver Peer Support to PLWH, emphasising those who struggle to engage with healthcare settings and/or attain virological suppression.

Working alongside the HIV Peer Support Mentor Network Manager, you will carry a caseload of clients, focusing on those that are finding it hard to stay in care, and help support with referrals to more specialist support, such as drug and alcohol, mental health and advice and advocacy support.
