Description
This is a brilliant opportunity for a dedicated person to promote and improve the voice of parents and carers in the planning, delivery and improvement of services, working closely with MFT Children and Young People's participation workers
MFT CAMHS sits within Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital (RMCH) and is comprised of 48 separate services, including 5 Core CAMHS services (North, South, Salford, Central & Trafford), Looked After Children/Adoption services, Children with Disabilities Service and Manchester Eating Disorders Service, along with Inpatient Services based at Galaxy House. Wherever your interests lie, we’ll support you to develop your skills to become a key part amplifying the voice of those who use our services.
Let us tell you more about what the job involves and why this could be your next and best career move – you just need the right skills, experience and attitude so you can meet the needs and demands of the critical and life enhancing role for our patients.
The post holder will enable and amplify parent and carers voices to be heard through a participatory model, enabling parents and carers to feel listened to and empowered by actively involving them in design and delivery of CAMH Services
The postholder will achieve this working alongside service participation leads and service managers, developing and supporting service user involvement and participation throughout the CAMHS Directorate. The post holder will contribute to and support the development of a participation strategy across CAMHS and help implement this strategy by supporting and developing service user involvement and participation.
The postholder will work in collaboration with managers, clinical leads and parents and carers to identify projects and work streams where participation is a key factor in service development. The postholder will then support the development and implement these projects and work streams ensuring that children and young people are at the heart of everything that they do
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of over £3bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 30,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.
We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
