We're looking for a confident, enthusiastic individual who can help us to get more people involved in shaping Lancashire Mind.

Lancashire Mind is a local charity working to prevent poor mental health. We support people experiencing common mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression. We work with children and adults, offering universal services to help people improve their mental wellbeing, along with targeted services for people and communities at increased risk of experiencing poor mental health or facing mental health inequalities. We’re working towards a Lancashire where everyone can have the best mental health and wellbeing possible.

We have a responsibility to engage the communities we serve, to make sure we know and understand them. It's vital we do this to identify need and understand barriers and to design services alongside people. We do this well on an individual service level, with many of our projects designed with the people who use them but we need to improve how we involve people with lived experience in organisation-wide development plans and key decision making.

To help us work towards our plans for embedding participation, we're looking for someone to join our Engagement and Inclusion Team to work with the communities we aim to serve, with a focus on those who are underrepresented within Lancashire Mind services. The role has been designed to ensure that the experiences, perspectives and ideas of local people are being listened to and acted upon.

The ideal candidate will have experience of working within communities and knowledge of the barriers that people face to achieving mental wellbeing and accessing services. You'll be confident, creative and able to work autonomously in the community, where you'll communicate with a wide range of people and quickly build rapport.

The focus of the role will be to ensure that more people with lived experience of poor mental health know who Lancashire Mind are, what we do and how they can influence our work. You'll work with the Community Engagement Projects Lead to create a range of opportunities for people to participate, including establishing formal structures, for example a lived experience panel and youth advisory group, which you'll design with the people who want to get involved. You'll work with colleagues across all teams to ensure opportunities to influence Lancashire Mind's work are promoted to everyone who uses our services.

Lancashire Mind aims to be a great place to work for all our staff, regardless of background or characteristics. One thing we can do to work towards that goal is to ensure that our staff team is representative of the diverse communities across Lancashire. We particularly encourage applications from people in communities that face mental health inequalities and from anyone with experience of living with a mental health condition.

Lancashire Mind offers a 35-hour working week, with options for flexible working. We have a dedicated workplace wellbeing programme to ensure staff are supported to look after their own mental health and wellbeing, including an Employee Assistance Programme, annual wellbeing half day and a range of wellbeing activities throughout the year.

We offer paid emergency time off for unexpected life events, including caring for dependents. We have a sick pay scheme and workplace pension scheme and have recently enhanced our annual leave to include long service leave, on top of basic annual leave of 25 days, plus 3 days when the office closes between Christmas and New Year, plus the option to buy or sell leave.

Above all, we are a friendly and supportive place to work: "Great staff team, positive and supportive culture" (Lancashire Mind wellbeing survey, March 2024).

Please note: this post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
