About Magazine:
SDF is facilitating the exciting development of a peer-led, harm reduction-focused magazine created by and for people who use drugs. Our mission is to amplify the voices, experiences, and stories of individuals within this community, challenge stigma, and provide valuable, practical information about harm reduction, health, and policy changes. We believe in the power of storytelling to create change, and we're looking for a Peer Community Engagement Officer to join our team and help those with living experience to craft meaningful, impactful content.
About the Role and Post Holder:
The Peer Community Engagement Officer will play a vital role in our team, actively engaging with people who use drugs to create meaningful magazine and podcast content. This position involves direct interaction with readers, contributors, and our wider audience, helping to build a vibrant, inclusive space for open dialogue, mutual support, and shared learning. Working closely with the Content Creator & Editor and our Living Experience Team, the Officer will help shape content that reflect the needs and perspectives of the living experience community, ensuring the magazine stays responsive, relevant, and truly peer-driven.
We encourage applications from people with their own direct lived experience of substance use who can use their experience in developing this work. As the role requires the post holder to engage with a diverse range of people with living experience, it is essential that applicants are knowledgeable of the complexities of substance use and of harm reduction strategies.
