AWP are looking to recruit service users from: 

  • Secondary care services (adults who receive a care plan - see their website for more information)
  • Specialised services
  • Secure services

They said: 

"We believe that service users should be influential partners in driving, delivering and supporting positive change, and providing us with a constructive challenge. Actively listening to the expertise and lived experience of our service users, their carers and families will enable us to deliver high quality and safe care."

The Expert by Experience group, which will see representatives work alongside staff from across the Trust, will launch in October.

The closing date for applications is Wednesday 7 August.
