Do you have type 2 diabetes and want to help others?
If so we want to hear from you!
As a peer mentor, you will receive full training and ongoing support, develop your knowledge of type 2 diabetes, be reimbursed expenses and meet and support other people living with type 2 diabetes.
You don’t need to be an expert in diabetes and you don’t need to have the perfect lifestyle. If you have been living with type 2 diabetes, have struggled to understand the condition, had setbacks and obstacles that have caused you to struggle on the way, you are ideal for this project!
If you’re interested and would like to find out more about the role, please contact us at The Peer Partnership at Brigstowe on 0117 955 5038 or email info@peerpartnership.org.
