Regional Youth Voice & Influence Lead Midlands

We're looking for a passionate, values-driven person who believes that young people should do more than access services—they should help influence and improve them.

As our Regional Youth Voice & Influence Lead, you'll work across the Midlands, building meaningful relationships with young people, creating opportunities for them to share their experiences, and ensuring their perspectives help shape how substance use services are developed and delivered.

This is a unique opportunity to spend your time doing what many youth professionals care most about: listening, understanding, advocating and creating change.

We're looking for someone who:

• Believes wholeheartedly in the value of young people's voices.
• Can build trust and engage authentically with diverse groups of young people.
• Sees participation as more than a consultation exercise.
• Can turn young people's experiences into powerful insight and influence.
• Is passionate about making services more responsive, accessible and effective.

You'll have the privilege of hearing young people's stories, understanding what matters to them, and helping ensure those voices are reflected in decisions that affect their lives.

If you're motivated by purpose, driven by social impact and committed to championing young people, we'd love to hear from you.
