About Adolescent Health Study The Adolescent Health Study (AHS) (Registered Charity Number ) is an ambitious new UKRI-funded initiative to establish a prospective, longitudinal population study that will generate a globally leading open science data platform and research resource. AHS aims to recruit at least 100,000 young people aged eight to 18 years from across the UK and to follow their mental and physical health and wellbeing over at least 10 years. It plans to collect data through questions and measures; to obtain bio-samples for a wide range of genomic and other high-throughput assays; and to capture linked data relevant to health and wellbeing from participants' health, education and other administrative records. There will be a strong emphasis on engaging with and involving young people, schools, parents and other relevant stakeholders in the design and delivery of the study, as well as on including young people that represent as wide as possible a range of backgrounds, experiences and characteristics. AHS will focus on enabling a wide range of research, including studies of the critical biological and social developments that occur during the transition from childhood to adulthood and the determinants of both mental and physical health and wellbeing in adolescents and young adults. Purpose of the post The Engagement and Involvement Officer will play a central role in supporting meaningful engagement and involvement of young people, families, schools and other interest-holders in the process of designing, delivering and ensuring the best outputs from the Adolescent Health Study. Primarily, the postholder will be responsible for the stewardship and coordination of the AHS Young People's Advisory Group (YPAG). The post-holder will provide ongoing support to YPAG members to ensure their active participation in opportunities to inform and shape the work of AHS. This will include working closely with the adults in the YPAG members' lives, including parents/carers, teachers and other relevant adults or professionals. The postholder will also be required to build positive working relationships with other organisations and institutions that work directly with young people. They will support the Engagement and Involvement Lead to develop mechanisms to reach wider and more diverse groups of young people to take part in engagement and involvement activities at AHS. This is a role that requires confidence, autonomy, enthusiasm and skill. The post-holder will be a strong advocate for children's rights, have a sound working knowledge and understanding of safeguarding practices, and demonstrate experience of co-ordinating youth advisory groups, youth councils or similar. Main responsibilities Coordination & facilitation Plan, organise, and deliver regular meetings, workshops, and consultation sessions with young people. Develop accessible, inclusive and engaging materials to support young people's participation in activities and discussions. Ensure robust mechanisms are in place to facilitate a feedback loop, communicating to young people the impact of their input. Ensure safeguarding, wellbeing, and inclusion are embedded in all activities. Lead on and maintain communication with young people, parents/carers (where appropriate), and partner organisations. Support for young people Provide guidance, pastoral support, and clear information to help young people take part confidently and safely. Facilitate training and development opportunities to build young people's skills, knowledge, and confidence. Foster an environment where young people feel respected, valued, and listened to. Manage mechanisms for reward and recognition of young people's input and contributions. Strengthen and enable staff team Strengthen knowledge and understanding of youth engagement and involvement across the organisation. Enable the wider staff team to plan and conduct activities with the YPAG and wider groups of young people, supporting the design of involvement tasks that are age-appropriate, inclusive, and aligned with best practice.

About Adolescent Health Study The Adolescent Health Study (AHS) (Registered Charity Number ) is an ambitious new UKRI-funded initiative to establish a prospective, longitudinal population study that will generate a globally leading open science data platform and research resource. AHS aims to recruit at least 100,000 young people aged eight to 18 years from across the UK and to follow their mental and physical health and wellbeing over at least 10 years. It plans to collect data through questions and measures; to obtain bio-samples for a wide range of genomic and other high-throughput assays; and to capture linked data relevant to health and wellbeing from participants' health, education and other administrative records. There will be a strong emphasis on engaging with and involving young people, schools, parents and other relevant stakeholders in the design and delivery of the study, as well as on including young people that represent as wide as possible a range of backgrounds, experiences and characteristics. AHS will focus on enabling a wide range of research, including studies of the critical biological and social developments that occur during the transition from childhood to adulthood and the determinants of both mental and physical health and wellbeing in adolescents and young adults.
