Location: Chatham Base, working across Medway
Salary: £28,560 – £30,328.68 (pro rata)
Contract: Permanent
North Kent Mind is looking for a passionate and people-centred Lived Experience Lead to champion children, young people and families’ voices across the new Medway Therapeutic Alliance. This is a key role in ensuring lived experience shapes how the service is designed, delivered and improved from day one.
You’ll lead our co-production work for this project, bringing together CYP, parents and carers through networking with existing panels and setting up our own advisory groups. You will help create accessible resources, improve referral routes and communications, and make sure “you said – we did” feedback is visible across the Alliance. Working closely with the Lived Experience Manager, Deputy Director and wider CYP team, you’ll build strong relationships with CYP, families and partners to ensure insight genuinely drives change.
We’re looking for someone with relevant lived experience and a real commitment to inclusion, alongside experience working with CYP or families in community, education or wellbeing settings. You will need to feel confident facilitating groups, creating safe spaces and turning feedback into clear actions.
If you care deeply about elevating CYP and family voice and want to help shape an ambitious new service for Medway, we’d love to hear from you!
Closing date: 22.12.25 (we may close early if we receive sufficient applications). Interviews will take place in early January.
