The Lived Experience Leadership team at Mind supports staff nationally and locally to involve people with lived experience of mental health problems in programs of work and their respective organisations.

The local Mind network provides local services for people with mental health problems. To do this effectively, it is essential that a deep understanding of the needs and experiences of people with mental health problems drives everything that they do and that they actively seek opportunities for people with experience of mental health problems to lead and guide their work.

They are looking for someone to carry out research and gather insight statements to increase understanding of development needs and good practice that can support Local Minds, in England and Wales, to involve people with lived experience in their work.

You will have experience of conducting research, qualitative analysis and translating research insights into actionable recommendations.

They are looking for:

  • People who are over 18 years old and who have their own lived experience of mental health problems
  • We will accept applications from individuals or two or more researchers looking to work on this project together.
  • You will have experience of conducting research, qualitative analysis and translating research insights into actionable recommendations.
