The Peer Representative placement is an opportunity for a ‘hands on’ experience of working with young people in a variety of ways through OTR’s existing projects as well as developing initiatives/ideas of your own. This could include working face-to-face with young people (e.g. through our in person drop-in Hubs), staffing the enquiry line/answering emails, liaising with parents and professionals, co-facilitating groups and developing new projects and website resources. 

Peer Representatives can use their voice to influence the development, direction and delivery of services, build on their strengths and have an opportunity to lead in a chosen area of work to help create positive change for young people on both individual and structural levels.
