We are recruiting for Peer Support Worker in Kingston upon Thames.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, flexible person with lived experience of autism who is committed to supporting autistic people to work towards their individual goals. Lived experience refers to the first-hand involvement or direct experiences and choices of a given person, and the knowledge that they gain from it, as opposed to the knowledge a given person gains from second-hand source.
Goals you may support clients to work on include:
· Taking more control of their lives through gaining a greater understanding of their own wellbeing
· Reducing feelings of isolation through building connections in the local community
· Gaining confidence and an improved sense of wellbeing
You will use your own direct lived experience of autism, to work together with people to identify their wellbeing goals and find the right resources and support for their needs. You will have excellent interpersonal skills and be committed to using a strength based and client led approach.
Experience of peer support is not essential; it is more important that you share our commitment to supporting people to achieve their personal and wellbeing goals. Peer support training will be provided.
This is a hybrid role involving both working from home and working in the community.

Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. The Christian Aid Resilient Futures Fund is key to delivering this vision. We are a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice worldwide. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.
We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognise the value this brings in forming strong, creative and high performing teams. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, and from those with experience from outside of the voluntary sector. And no, you don’t have to be Christian to work here – we encourage people of all faiths and none to apply. We just ask that everyone lives out our values of dignity, equality, justice and love. We value a good work-life balance, so we’re open to part-time and flexible working. We also offer hybrid working for our office-based colleagues.
About the Role
Christian Aid’s Resilient Futures Fund (CARFF) is an ambitious new initiative mobilising capital for climate adaptation and resilience across the Global South. We are building a pipeline of innovative enterprises supporting communities on the frontline of the climate crisis, and we are now seeking a Senior New Business Development Officer to help drive this mission.
This role sits at the heart of CARFF’s growth. You will shape and deliver a dynamic fundraising and partnership strategy, working closely with the Head of CARFF to cultivate high-value supporters, deepen relationships across the philanthropic and impact investment worlds, and help establish CARFF as one of Christian Aid’s most exciting emerging ventures. You will design compelling donor experiences, use insight and analysis to guide your approach, and work collaboratively across Christian Aid to embed CARFF into wider fundraising efforts.
About You
You will bring a strong track record in securing major gifts or high-value partnerships, confidence in developing fundraising strategies across diverse audiences, and an instinct for building meaningful, long-term relationships. You will be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment, able to translate insight into action, and motivated by the opportunity to shape a new initiative with global reach. A passion for climate resilience, impact investment, or international development would be an advantage.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of philanthropy and innovation, and who wants to contribute to a fund with the potential to deliver significant and lasting impact.

Your work will directly enable enterprises to scale climate-resilient innovations where they are needed most.
