Be part of a forward thinking team transforming how children and young people access inclusive, responsive and meaningful mental health support across Birmingham. As an Engagement and Equalities Practitioner within Compass Birmingham MHST, you will lead the coordination and delivery of our equalities and engagement strategy, ensuring children, young people and families shape how services are designed and delivered. You will embed evidence based co production practices across locality teams and strengthen participation at every level. Working across schools, colleges and community settings, you will facilitate consultation and focus groups, develop engagement materials and co produce accessible approaches that reflect local need.
