This is a new and exciting role to support the Hepatitis C Follow Me Project and the Liver Surveillance Project, specifically for Eastern European communities across West London.
The Hepatitis C Trust develops projects nationally where peers use their lived experience of injecting drug use and hepatitis C, to provide education and training, increase hepatitis C awareness, and access to testing and treatment for people living with hepatitis C.
Are you looking for a new and exciting challenge? Do you have experience of working within drug services and with volunteers? Have you been affected by hepatitis C or have you supported anyone who has hepatitis C?
We are looking for self-motivated individuals who can work on their own, engage with stakeholders and have a desire to make a difference in promoting hepatitis C awareness & liver health among services and affected Eastern European communities by increasing access to hepatitis C treatment and liver disease care. We are looking for a passionate and skilled Peer Support Lead who is fluent in Russian and Lithuanian and has excellent communication and organisational skills.
Working in partnership with hepatitis C & liver surveillance teams, drug and alcohol services and homeless service providers,
the post holder will deliver education on hepatitis C & Liver Health to Eastern European communities deemed at risk of HCV infection & liver disease across all of the West London ODN area and ensure that everyone is offered and supported to treatment. Working under the guidance of the Peer Programme Manager the post holder will ensure that Eastern European people with an identified diagnosis of hepatitis C & liver cirrhosis are offered a referral to specialist hepatitis treatment & liver surveillance services in West London area.
We require a good standard of education, willingness to travel and welcome creativity and innovation in all our work. We are a patient-led organisation – you will be working in an environment where the patient/service user/client is placed at the centre of all that you do.
It is desirable but not essential the post holder hold a driving licence.
