Lived Experience Support Officer - recruitment open session 10th October

Gateshead Council is delivering a project to enable local people to share their own experiences and insights and to influence how services, policies and strategies at the council are developed.

The Experts by Experience Support Officer will support the Experts by Experience Coordinator and others across the Council to ensure that lived experience is at the heart of all our work, that our approach is consistent and underpins and supports our strategic goals.

We also wish to make sure that our Experts by Experience work better represents the diverse range of people affected by poverty, inequality and disadvantage.

This role will make sure that every interaction, every real story, every breach of human rights, and every event counts in our fight to ensure all our residents have the ability to thrive.

We are offering a number of sessions in the community and online for potential applicants to come along and find out more about the role, the type of person we are looking for in terms of their experience, knowledge and skills, to meet the people you’ll be working with and a chance to ask us any questions.
