Medway Council Public Health is looking to procure an organisation that works in street-based or supported accommodation settings to recruit a full-time Peer Outreach Coordinator and a full-time Peer Outreach Worker to recruit and manage people with lived and living experience to form part of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) tasked with providing enhanced support for people who use substances and are at risk of or experiencing rough sleeping in Medway. The Peer Outreach Coordinator will recruit peer mentors who have lived and living experience and coordinate staff and volunteers who engage in assertive outreach and in-reach. The role will also include partnership work with agencies that contribute to the Medway Multiple Disadvantage Team (MMDT), and representation at planning and review meetings.
