Mind’s Network Quality Team are looking for someone who is passionate about mental health and wants to enhance the quality and sustainability of local Mind support.

Mind won’t give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect. This is a chance for you to support local Minds to help realise that promise and to recognise the excellence in the Mind network.

The team assures the quality of the 122 local Minds in England and Wales through the Mind Quality Mark (MQM), which was co-designed with local Minds and people with lived experience of mental health problems. The team also provides support to help local Minds reach and exceed the MQM, promoting a culture of continual improvement. The team run the annual Mind Network Excellence Awards to celebrate the high-quality work of local Minds. 

As Network Quality Lead, you will undertake reviews of local Minds against the MQM, working with a small team of peer reviewers including an expert by experience. You will also provide organisational development support to local Minds and support the team of peer reviewers.

If you have experience of quality assurance approaches, knowledge of good practice in areas such as governance, monitoring and evaluation, service user engagement and equality and diversity, have strong communication and writing skills and a flexible ‘can do’ approach you may be just the person we are looking for!

The role can be based in London, Cardiff or homeworking, with regular travel across England and Wales. This is a fixed-term contract for 24 months, paid on grade D of Mind’s salary scales.
