Description

We are looking for motivated, passionate individual to help lead CYP participation and digital development with us. Specialist Inclusion Lead is an integral part of our friendly and innovative Partnership team.

This role will have a specific strategic focus; ensuring that children and young people will be involved at all levels of our healthcare system, from shaping care they might receive in hospital or in their local community all the way through to inputting into planning and strategic change.

Specialist Inclusion Lead - Children and Young People/ Digital role is essential to ensure mental health promotion and prevention are at the core of our support offer for children and young people (CYPS) within Gloucestershire.

The post-holder will provide children and young people within Gloucestershire the ability to make positive changes for themselves, their peers and any potential future children and young people accessing mental health support and wider CYPS services.

The post holder will be line managed by the Service Development manager (countywide).

The role will also enable children and young people's voices to be heard through a participatory model, facilitating forums, to feel listened to and empowered, opening the channels of communication between young people and professionals.

Be responsible for the development and implementation of a participation strategy across CYPS and embed service user involvement and participation throughout the service, in line with national initiatives.

Will work in collaboration with managers, clinical leads, commissioners and most importantly, children and young people to identify projects and work streams where participation is a key factor in service development.
Build strong working relationships with services working with children and young people with mental health and emotional wellbeing needs, including those with youth groups or boards.
Identify and recruit a diverse and sustainable group of children and young people to be involved through a creative, varied and flexible range of media and face to face contact. The postholder will involve people in ways that are appropriate to their needs and preferences, and provide them with the necessary information, resources and support to enable them to participate.
Manage and oversee, in conjunction with the Trust's Communications Team, the development of a digital, countywide platform of selfhelp, support and guidance for children and young people, parents and professionals ensuring it is fit for purpose and meets the needs of children and young people, parents and carers, and professionals.

At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it.

This is the same approach we take for our employees.

We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards.

The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.

Gloucestershire Health &Care NHS Foundation Trust is built on the strong foundations of organisations that value involving people and committed to work in partnership with young people, families, Integrated Care System partners, local voluntary sector providers and communities.
