Full-Time | Permanent

At David Lewis, we believe in the power of voice, choice, and inclusion. We’re a charity that puts the people we support at the heart of everything we do — and now, we’re looking for a passionate, values-driven Co-Production leader to help us take that commitment even further.

About The Role

As our Co-Production, Participation and Engagement Manager, you’ll be a change-maker — leading our efforts to embed co-production across all services. From supporting our vibrant People’s Council and DL Radio Station, to creating meaningful work experience and employment opportunities, you’ll ensure that the voices of the people we support shape every aspect of our work.

You’ll also lead our engagement with families, building strong, collaborative relationships that reflect our belief in partnership and transparency.

What You’ll Champion

• Co-production and participation strategy across the charity
• Family engagement and working groups
• Personalisation, independence, and choice in service delivery
• Opportunities for volunteering, work experience, and paid employment
• The smooth running of our David Lewis Live Radio Station
• Surveys and feedback mechanisms that drive real change
  
  

Who You Are

You’re someone who:

• Believes in people-led change
• Has experience in co-production, social care, education, or health
• Is a confident facilitator and relationship-builder
• Thrives on collaboration and innovation
• Is organised, proactive, and passionate about inclusion
  
  

What You’ll Need

• Experience in co-production or participation roles
• A degree or equivalent (Level 3 minimum, willing to work towards Level 4)
• Strong communication and IT skills
• A commitment to strength-based approaches and advocacy
  
  

Desirable

• Experience in managing services for people with additional needs
• Familiarity with commissioning or report writing
  
  

At David Lewis, we don’t just talk about values — we live them. We’re proud to be a place where everyone’s voice matters, and where co-production isn’t a buzzword — it’s our foundation.

Ready to lead change with us? Apply now and help shape a future where everyone is heard, included, and empowered.
