About The Role

An exciting and unique opportunity to draw on your own experiences in order to make a difference in the lives of people using mental health services.

  • Represent the Patient/Carer voice on service critical meetings such as Clinical Governance, Patient Forum, Carers Forum, Clinical Improvement committee and Restrictive Practice Reduction among others

Skills Required

  • Good communicator; this role will often involve working alongside persons experiencing mental health crisis or on their journey to recovery
