The Powys Mental Health Planning and Development Partnership is recruiting for a new Mental Health Carer Representative to help shape Mental Health services in Powys at a strategic level.  The partnership is responsible for overseeing how the Welsh Government’s Together for Mental Health strategy is delivered in Powys and consists of all organisations involved in this delivery. (E.g. Powys County Council, Powys Teaching Health Board, Dyfed-Powys Police).  As an equal member of the partnership board you will help ensure that service users and carers have their voice heard in the decision making process around mental health provision in the county.

There are 4 partnership meetings each year, and there are other opportunities to take part in further sub-groups looking at specific areas of services. You would also gather views and experiences of other carers and service users at meetings so that you are actively representing the views of people from around Powys. This would be supported and facilitated by PAVO.

If you would like to apply please contact PAVO Mental Health Team at mentalhealth@pavo.org.uk by September 30th.
