Job summary
We are looking for an experienced and dedicated Co-Production and Lived Experience Development worker to join us for an exciting new opportunity within our Solar service for children and young people.
This new project will create, implement and support a range of co-production and lived experience opportunities for service users: children and young people, as well as their families/carers.
We are looking for someone who has substantial experience of working with children and young people, their families/carers, developing and maintaining co-production-based activities and projects. The successful candidate should have extensive experience of working with children and young people, families/carers, ideally within mental health services, engaging individuals and groups in co-production, engagement and lived experience opportunities.
Main duties of the job
The role will involve scoping out provision of children and young people's mental health services in Solihull, and working with clinicians and leads to identify co-production and lived experience opportunities.
It will include supporting the creation of project plans, direct engagement work with individuals and groups, holding and attending meetings and events, and mapping out a full suite of co-production and lived experience opportunities across the Solar service.
The role will involve identifying, recruiting, onboarding, training and developing individuals and groups to be involved in meaningful, tangible and rewarding co-production opportunities, and fostering an inclusive and accessible culture where children, young people and their families/carers are firmly seen and recognised as equal partners in the co-design, co-production and (where possible) co-production of mental health services.
The role will involve developing opportunities and exploring co-production transition pathways from children to young people to adults.
