From your personal experience you will understand first-hand the kind of support that those currently suffering will need. You will be able to offer a listening, non-judgemental ear whilst also helping them to advocate for themselves when needed. Most peer support takes place over WhatsApp and consists of providing both emotional and practical support for as long as it suits the person benefiting from the service. 

Experienced peer supporters have the opportunity to progress into a mentor role for new volunteers. This role consists of training new volunteers going into the Peer Supporter position. This is a role that requires experience as a PSS Volunteer before applying.

We are looking for people who have experience supporting someone who has had HG. As someone who has witnessed the condition from this perspective you will be able to help other partners/carers of those who are currently suffering with HG.

Working directly with our support team you will be on the frontline of our webchat helpline receiving live chats from those seeking information and support for their pregnancy sickness symptoms. Often those using this service are looking at our website as their first port of call and have a lot of questions regarding medications, safety, coping strategies, eating advice and how they can access treatment.

Using your own lived experience along with PSS training, you will offer empathetic and non judgemental responses so that nobody feels alone. As the Community Space is open 24/7, this role is completely flexible so it can work around any existing commitments.

Raising awareness of hyperemesis gravidarum and the charity can be done by simply sharing our social media content, commenting on posts directing them to our services, or delivering leaflets to your local GP surgeries and hospital.
