Paid opportunity for young people with experience of the care system – Deadline October 25th, 2024

[LMP Edit: One in three young people leaving care in Leeds is an unaccompanied asylum seeking child.] 

***********************************************************************

I’m pleased to share an exciting new opportunity for young people (Aged 16-25) with experience of the care system, or of engaging with a social worker and for parents and carers (kinship, foster or adoptive) with experience of family support services.

This is a paid opportunity, offering national living wage to all panel members for their time and lived experience expertise. 

Foundations Experts By Experience Panel 

The Experts By Experience panel is a brand-new national project working alongside Foundations to influence their work to create positive changes for children and families.

Panel members will:

  • Work alongside professionals from Foundations to provide advice and ideas based on their lived experience
  • Make positive changes to improve the support for children and families, by working with Foundations to look at what works
  • Co-produce communications and projects in collaboration with Foundations to reflect the needs of children and families
  • Gain opportunities for personal development – through skills training and valuable experience.

Panel members will attend a combination of in-person and online meetings as well as receiving individual personal development opportunities.

We are especially keen to hear from Black, Asian and minoritized ethnic young people, parents and carers to ensure that these voices are heard. 

The deadline for applications is: 25th October 2024

I would appreciate it if you could share the opportunity amongst your networks and encourage any eligible young person or carer who you feel would benefit from this experience to apply. 

I have attached all the relevant documents, including the application form and FAQ’s. They can also be accessed here: https://foundations.org.uk/opportunity/experts-by-experience-panel/

Many thanks,

Emily Blavins. (She/her),  Project Manager, Leaders Unlocked
