Engagement Lead
CurrentLeads on all aspects of planning, delivery and review of service user and carer participation in the service. I am the first person to hold the role, and I have successfully led several initiatives to enhance engagement and co-production efforts across the organisation. I have designed a bespoke co-production program tailored to the specific accessibility and informational needs of Older Adults. I also coordinated a large-scale consultation project between our service and East Sussex County Council, and this initiative earned me a Positive Practice award in the category of Diversity and Inclusion. As part of my duties, I have sourced and managed a Trust-wide co-production budget, overseeing the allocation of resources to various engagement initiatives and ensuring efficient use of funds. Additionally, I have played a central role in the recruitment, management, coaching, and development of staff within my team. This includes providing ongoing support and guidance to team members, conducting performance evaluations, and facilitating professional development opportunities to enhance team effectiveness.
