Teesside Mind is excited to introduce a new Peer Support Worker role focused on supporting younger adults aged 18–25. This role is part of a wider partnership with Darlington Mind and the Cornforth Partnership, who are recruiting to similar roles.
We define peer support as a relationship where people with shared experiences connect to build safe, trusting, and non-judgemental relationships through which they learn and grow together. Peer Support Workers use their own lived experience of mental health problems and accessing services to support others on their recovery journey.
This role aims to provide holistic, recovery-focused support that reduces the need for future secondary NHS mental health services or hospital admissions. You’ll be part of a trauma-informed, person-centred team working across organisational boundaries to meet the wide-ranging needs of young adults.
To apply for this role you must be able to answer Yes to each of these statements as this experience is essential.
Have you had personal experience of mental health challenges of using services between the ages of 18 – 25 years?
Have you had experience of working with young adults with complex social needs or distress?
Closing Date for Applications: 21st October 2025
