Job Description
This is a key position within the Head On mental health campaign, a coalition of charities focussed on the urgent need to build stronger public and political pressure for improved mental health provision.
Within the overall campaign, YoungMinds and a small group of partner organisations are delivering a Wellcome Trust-funded program designed to support young people aged 18-25 to take part in a meaningful, skills-based journey into mental health advocacy and influencing.
Based at YoungMinds, the Senior Youth Participation Officer will play a key role in coordinating delivery across all phases of the program, ensuring activity is well-organised, inclusive and rooted in strong youth participation practice. Acting as the primary point of contact for young people, you will support their engagement, wellbeing and experience, while ensuring their voices shape program development.
Working closely with internal teams and partners, you will support the transition from co production into delivery and real-world advocacy, helping to create a safe, empowering environment and embedding anti oppressive approaches throughout.
