Oxfordshire Mind - Engagement and Development Lead (Berkshire West)

About the role

‘Mind in Berkshire’ is an exciting new collaboration to develop mental health support and awareness across the county, working with existing providers to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and skills and enhance capacity. We are seeking to recruit an Engagement and Development Lead for Berkshire West, who will work in close partnership with a colleague focusing on Berkshire East developments.

The Mind in Berkshire programme is a collaboration between Oxfordshire Mind and Buckinghamshire Mind, aimed at increasing third sector capacity to deliver mental health support across Berkshire.  This will involve drawing on, co-ordinating and developing the expertise of the many voluntary and community sector partners active in this field across the county. By applying learning from the COVID lockdowns – the successes and the challenges highlighted – the programme will help to develop mental health services within the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Berkshire (BOB) and the Frimley Integrated Care Systems.

Buckinghamshire Mind is already delivering services in the East of Berkshire, whilst Oxfordshire Mind has secured several contracts to deliver services in Berkshire West. The local Minds are working together to strengthen partnerships and alliances across Berkshire with public, private and third sector organisations, remaining committed always to the principles of the Mind Federation Agreement:

• delivering services for the benefit of service users.
• delivering fair and worthwhile benefit for all Local Minds.
• sharing learning and best practice and connections.
• working together with openness and honesty in the spirit of collaboration and cooperation.
• responding with good faith in a timely manner.
• valuing diversity and inclusion, promoting equality and challenging discrimination.
