This role sits at the heart of that mission.
The Role
This is not a tick-box participation post.
As our Service User Participation Worker, you’ll make sure service-user voice actively shapes our culture, communications and service design. You’ll build community connection, run meaningful participation activities, and capture powerful lived-experience insight that directly influences decision-making, storytelling and strategy.

What You’ll Be Doing
Building community & connection
- Designing and delivering inclusive activities, groups and events
- Creating both in-person and digital opportunities for peer support
- Supporting service users to become ambassadors and contributors
Leading meaningful participation
- Developing and embedding a clear participation and co-production model
- Facilitating forums, feedback sessions and co-production activities

- Closing the loop — showing people how their voice leads to change
About You

What We Offer
- A role with genuine influence and visibility
- A supportive, values-driven team
- Strong commitment to training and development
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Pension contribution
- Generous annual leave (pro rata)
Safeguarding
This role is subject to a probationary period and an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
