Next Steps Peer Mentor Volunteer

The Next Steps service is part of Bexley SASS, the commissioned domestic abuse service for Bexley. As a volunteer Peer Mentor, you will provide ongoing emotional, and peer support to women who have experienced domestic abuse through regular telephone calls or in-person check-ins over a 6-week period.

You will help women recognize their strengths, build confidence, feel connected, and take positive steps forward in their recovery.

This role requires strong IT, organisation, and communication skills, along with an empathic, non-judgemental approach. Volunteers gain valuable experience in the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) sector and play an important role in helping survivors move towards safer, independent lives.

Please note we will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis and may close the role earlier than advertised.
