This will include supporting and developing a group of ‘expert by experience’ leaders to be involved as equal partners in the community mental health transformation work. You will facilitate shared consideration and decisions about mental health service and system change through a range of methods, bringing insights from citizens in.

You will be guided and supported in co-production practice and mental health transformation plans by our Policy and Practice and Programme Innovation colleagues.

Who I am?

I am passionate about improving mental health outcomes for local communities. I have experience of working with people with challenging and distressing experiences from different backgrounds as well as leading and developing staff and/or volunteers in health and social care settings. I may also have experience of facilitating co-production within statutory systems alongside understanding of citizen participation approaches and equality and diversity. I can facilitate group meetings, have an aptitude for helping people feel safe and supported in one to one and group discussion and also can demonstrate ability to simplify complex information and communicate the essence of views and recommendations.

The safety and wellbeing of our service users and colleagues is our priority. It is a condition of employment for anyone joining us in a front-line role that they have either had the recommended Covid-19 vaccine or agree to have it when offered by the NHS. We also require all staff to undertake regular testing to ensure the safety of service users and staff.  You can find more information on our approach and why we have made this decision in our attached Covid-19 vaccination information document.  This includes information for pregnant women and people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities.
