If so, join Mayday Trust and Platfform as our ‘Community and Participation Partner’, who works with individuals, organisations and local leaders to coproduce more equal and effective services in the City of London.

You will work with Groundswell and City of London to embed their approaches to coproduction across the borough. You will engage and develop a group of champions to influence change and grow practice development and facilitate forums for commissioners to listen to people with lived experience of homelessness services.

Alongside Groundswell’s Peer Coordinator, you will use our unique strengths-based approach to find, engage and be led by people who use, or who are struggling to access, housing and homelessness services in the City. You will convene and support a group of people who use services to become a major force for positive change, bringing them together with coproduction champions from local services and commissioners from the City of London.

We work with people experiencing challenges with their mental health, and with communities who want to create a greater sense of wellbeing in the places that they live. Through our projects, we work with thousands of people each year.

We believe that long-lasting wellbeing comes about by understanding how lives can be shaped by traumatic experiences, identifying people’s strengths and focussing on healing. We know we can’t ‘fix’ people, but we can walk alongside people and help where we can on their journey.

We try hard to make Platfform a great place to work, we live our values and mission in everything that we do.
