We are recruiting a Children and Young People’s Authentic Voice Coordinator. Do you have an interest in working with children and young people who have experienced domestic abuse and a desire to ensure their voice is heard when developing services to support them? We are looking for someone who is highly motivated, proactive, organised and enjoys working in a variety of ways and developing new ideas and approaches.

The Children and Young People’s (CYP) Authentic Voice Coordinator will place the voice of children and young people at the heart of this project. You will work within Bolton to enable CYP to represent and create change for the operational and strategic response to children and young people experiencing domestic abuse by creating a platform for their authentic and independent voice.

You will work as part of a wider project team with the aim of delivering a sustainable model for embedding child and adult survivors’ voices. This model will involve creating spaces, opportunities and networks for CYP survivors of domestic abuse from across the Bolton area to share their lived experience in a variety of age-appropriate ways such as surveys, focus groups, forums and panels; and enable survivors to co-create the design, development and delivery of local policies and services intended to meet their needs.  The model will be inclusive and equitable, ensuring CYP from marginalised and seldom heard from communities can be active and have equal influence. 

Your role will also work closely with the Bolton Local Authority with the aim of ensuring survivor voice is embedded within the wider systems.
