Outreach worker jobs
HIV Peer Support Worker
About Trade
Trade Sexual Health (Trade for short) is a small health and wellbeing charity based in Leicester. We currently have seven staff and more than 40 volunteers.
Trade began as a grassroots gay community response to HIV in Leicester in the late 1980s. Throughout the 1990s, Trade worked in creative ways to spread information about sexual health and HIV prevention to gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in the city (GBMSM).
Trade has been a registered charity since 2000. Over the last 25 years, the core of our work has been focused on improving the sexual health of gay and bisexual men across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. We have always taken a holistic approach to understanding and addressing the range of issues that might impact on gay and bisexual men’s capacity to look after their sexual health. As a result, we started a counselling service – Approach Counselling – to support community members to improve their mental wellbeing. We now draw on this experience to tackle wider health inequalities in relation to sexual health and HIV, and to provide peer support for anyone living with HIV in the areas where we work. For a small charity, Trade has always ‘punched above its weight’ and we have a national profile for the innovative sexual health work we do.
We currently hold contracts to deliver sexual health promotion and HIV prevention outreach in the City of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to LGBTQ+ people, asylum-seekers, and a range of racialised communities that experience significant inequalities in relation to their sexual health.
We have a history of providing peer support to people living with HIV and this is now becoming a growing strand of our work. In addition to the HIV Peer Support contract in Northamptonshire (which this post relates to), we expect to be delivering enhanced HIV peer support across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
The primary purpose of this role is to deliver first line peer support to people living with HIV, of all genders and backgrounds, in Northamptonshire. The postholder will spend most of their working week embedded within the HIV clinics in Northampton and Kettering. They will ensure that people who have been recently diagnosed, or are struggling with their diagnosis, and those re-engaging with their HIV care feel supported and have the information they need to live well and thrive with HIV.
The postholder will be responsible for:
· Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT), bringing their own knowledge and experience to that work.
· Work with a small group of volunteer peer mentors from the clinics to support people living with HIV
· Help recruit new volunteers and ensure that patients needing ongoing peer mentoring are matched to the most suitable volunteer.
· Help people living with HIV to develop self-management strategies, deal with stigma, reduce social isolation and improve their wellbeing.
· Develop a catalogue of services, groups and support in the area where people can be signposted to for further wellbeing support either in addition to or instead of peer mentoring.
· Help people to stay engaged with their HIV treatment and care, improving antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, and consequently ensuring ongoing viral suppression.

· Normally spend at least one day a week in the HIV clinic at Kettering General Hospital and one day at Northampton General Hospital. Some travel to other sites may be required.
· Work as part of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) including nursing staff, doctors, clinical psychologists, and pharmacists within the HIV clinics, bringing their own knowledge and experience to that work.
· Triage new patients requiring peer support to understand what specific issues they are facing and the support they need.
· Work with a small group of volunteer peer mentors from the clinics to support people living with HIV. The volunteer peer mentors will be trained and managed by our partner organisation, Northamptonshire Carers, but the postholder will help recruit new volunteers in clinic, ensure that patients needing ongoing peer mentoring are matched to the most suitable volunteer, and help manage booking appointments between mentors and mentees.
· Help people living with HIV to develop self-management strategies, deal with stigma, reduce social isolation and improve their wellbeing.
· Help people to stay engaged with their HIV treatment and care, improving antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, and consequently ensuring ongoing viral suppression.
· Refer/signpost people into specialist services such as mental health services, drug and alcohol services, and services offering advice on housing, benefits and immigration issues.
· Support the eight standards listed in the British HIV Association Standards of Care for people living with HIV.
· Follow the National Standards in HIV Peer Support guidance and its four standards.
· Contribute to the development of innovative ways of delivering HIV peer support appropriate to the local context.

ART AGAINST KNIVES is looking for a passionate Senior Youth Worker & Project Producer to join our amazing team, making it possible for young people to create their own hopeful futures, free from violence, abuse and harm.
This post has a dual focus; you will be responsible for co-producing high quality music projects for young people aged 11-25 and directly supporting them to thrive. You will be exceptional at building trusted relationships with young people and in working alongside them to create high quality provision - ‘making ideas happen’ should be your superpower. You must be tuned into the needs and interests of socially excluded young people and committed to anti-oppressive behaviours and practice as part of your active solidarity with marginalised, minoritised and racialised people.
ABOUT ART AGAINST KNIVES
For the past 15 years, ART AGAINST KNIVES has been working to address the root cause of violence in partnership with young people and their communities.
Together we’ve designed safe, creative spaces that make it possible for them to build their own hopeful futures. In these spaces our team of creative, highly skilled professionals bring creative skills training, mentoring and specialist support to them, at a pace and in a space that works for them.
We focus on supporting socially excluded young people who are most at risk of violence, abuse and exploitation, ensuring we’re responding to their unique needs and putting them in the lead. In tandem with our direct support, we make it possible for them to imagine the change they want to see, ensuring their voices are heard within the systems around them and pushing for change.
We’ve established ourselves as one of London’s pioneering youth organisations, making it possible for thousands of young people to design their own hopeful futures, re-design local services and influence national systems change.
ABOUT THE ROLE
HOURS: Full-time (35 hrs per week, Mon-Fri) is available. Other more flexible arrangements would be considered.
SALARY: £32,654-£36,124pa + £500 training budget
START DATE: This post is available from May 2025
CONTRACT TYPE: 24 months fixed term with a view to extending, however this is funding dependent.
You will be based from our flagship space in East Finchley but may also be required to travel across the borough of Barnet. Whilst we try to keep things consistent, we require everyone to work flexibly as required to ensure adequate staff ratios across our provision.
Due to our existing commitments to young people, at a minimum this post-holder must be available to work in-person Mon-Thursday and until 7pm on a Wednesday and Thursday.
FULL DETAILS AND HOW TO APPLY
You can read the full Recruitment Pack, which outlines the key responsibilities of the role, person specification and instructions on how to apply by following the link to our website. There is an online application form for this role.
We support young people and their communities who are most at risk of violence, abuse and exploitation, which disproportionately impacts upon racialised people and those whose identities are marginalised. Therefore we specifically welcome applicants who share these experiences, hold a deep understanding of and stand in solidarity with marginalised, minoritised and racialised people.
We can only consider candidates who have the right to work in the UK and you must be willing to undergo an enhanced DBS check and reference checks.
Deadline for applications is 12pm midday, on Mon 21 Apr 2025. We look forward to receiving your application.
