Without specialist intervention, many are unable to overcome barriers to recovery and employment. Individuals are often unwilling to disclose their dependency to Jobcentre Plus (JCP) Work Coaches due to denial, shame, or fear that they will be sanctioned in some way. Other individuals with a dependency may not be engaged with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (the Buyer) at all. As a result, individuals are not able to receive the help and support they need to overcome the addiction and move towards or into work. The Buyer is therefore seeking to run a new Peer Mentoring Trial, with the expectation of there being a minimum of seven (7) Peer Mentors in two (2) Jobcentre boroughs within Scotland and North Wales in 2023 - Scotland (4-6 Peer Mentors covering Partick, Drumchapel, Springburn, Laurieston, Glasgow City, and Shettleston); North Wales (3-5 Peer Mentors covering Wrexham, Denbighshire (Rhyll), and Flintshire (Shotton)). Peer Mentors will use their lived experience of addiction and recovery to inspire, motivate and support others to manage their dependency, access appropriate support (including treatment, Universal Credit, housing services) and move towards employment.
