We have an exciting opportunity two Band 7 Engagement Leads, one full time post holder and one part time. This is a unique opportunity in which you will be able to solely focus on service development and improvement. You will work closely with service users, their loved ones, and staff to ensure their views, ideas and feedback shape the service and remain at the centre of all discussions, enabling coproduction and collaboration. In doing so, you will enhance and lead within our quality agenda and have a positive impact on service user and carer care and experiences.

Key tasks will include monitoring and analysing development opportunities and providing project management; leading on specific and agreed work streams.

- Delivery of specific identified actions from peer reviews, our quality strategy, auditing, feedback, etc.
