Peer Support Worker (Volunteer) – Remote – Expression of Interest

Peer Support Program – connect and make a difference

Our Peer Support Program brings together people who are living with blindness or low vision to share experiences, build confidence, and feel supported by others who understand the journey.

If you have lived experience of vision loss and would like to support others, we’d love to hear from you. Its a meaningful way to give back, connect with others and make a real difference.

Responsible to the Peer Support Program Lead, Peer Support Worker volunteers provide peer support services to the See Differently Beyond Blindness rapid response Peer Support Program participants. The program is grant funded by the Australian Department of Social Services (DSS) until 30 June 2027 and overseen by a Project Committee until November 2027.

Under the supervision of the Peer Support Program Lead, Peer Support Worker Volunteers deliver peer support to a matched participant, via an out-bound telephone service from a private and suitable location that is not a See Differently office.

As a Peer Support Worker Volunteer you will initiate scheduled participant appointments for outbound telephone-based peer support on time and according to the requirements outlined in procedures and training received. You will also be required to provide a case note record of participant appointments/contact, in the agreed format, to the Peer Support Program Lead or delegate, within required timeframes

Expressions of interest are open now, please register via our website, or email recruitment@seedifferently.org.au.

**Please note applicants must be based in South Australia to enable them to attend training.
