Description

As a local Family Ambassador you will ensure the needs and views of parents and families are heard and acted on by working within NWL CAMHS PC (commissioned services across a number of providers).

You will work within Children and Young People (CYP) inpatient mental health and learning disability settings.

You will need to be confident, engaging and compassionate, able to extend warm and welcoming invitations to parents, advocates and families whose young people are admitted to your designated units.

Many families may be traumatised from their experiences and will require understanding and a vision of hope and optimism from you as their ambassador.

Your role will be to work alongside the clinical units to ensure that the parents and families are engaged in their young person's pathway, enabling their voice and opinions to be heard and acted upon.

You will work alongside clinical teams in the units to support them to build pathways and opportunities to ensure parents and families are treated as partners.
