Carers Engagement: Best Practice Coordinator (temporary post)

£32,300 | Full time (one year contract)

Deadline to apply - 9am on Wednesday 10 January 2024

You will support the development of a Community of Practice to better identify and support carers interacting with mental health services.

We’re looking for someone who has experience of working across organisations to develop and share good practice, ideally with practical experience of the needs of
carers. The ideal candidate will understand the wide range of issues impacting carers and the kind of solutions that can be used to address these barriers. You’ll be confident working with people from a diverse range of backgrounds, establishing partnerships, and offering constructive challenge to colleagues to ensure that services are always doing their best to be inclusive.

You will work for Healthwatch Islington but have access to space at the North London Mental Health Partnership. You will build on existing good practice to develop and implement a strategy for identifying, recording, and supporting carers status. In turn, this will support the North London Mental Health Partnership with ‘earlier intervention’ and prevention, supporting their staff to recognise the factors impacting on carers’ wellbeing, and where feasible, take steps to minimise these.

You’ll enjoy working as part of a team committed to improving health and care services and access for Islington residents. You may have lived experience of mental health need, of using mental health services and/or be from a minoritised community. More information about the role can be found in the Recruitment Pack below.
