Job Introduction
Could You Help Shape the Future of David Lewis?
Co-Production, Participation & Engagement Manager
Location: Warford, Cheshire
Some jobs make a difference.
This one changes how an entire organisation thinks.
At David Lewis, we're proud of the incredible support we provide every single day to people with learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy and complex needs. But we know that the people who know our services best are the people who use them.
That's why we're looking for an exceptional Co-Production, Participation & Engagement Manager.
This isn't just another management role.
It's an opportunity to ensure the voices of the people we support are heard, listened to and acted upon at every level of our charity.
If you believe decisions should be made with people, not for people, this could quite genuinely be the perfect role for you.
What will you be doing?
You'll lead our co-production journey across David Lewis, helping ensure lived experience influences everything we do.
Working alongside the people we support, their families and colleagues across the charity, you'll help shape services, influence strategy and make sure participation becomes part of our everyday culture.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll Lead Exciting Initiatives Including
- Creating meaningful opportunities for people we support to influence decisions.
- Developing engagement with families and carers.
- Leading our People's Council and Co-Production Working Group.
- Supporting service development and modernisation.
- Embedding person-centred practice across the charity.
- Developing surveys, forums and engagement opportunities that genuinely drive change.
- Helping create volunteering, work experience and employment opportunities for the people we support.
- Championing the rights, aspirations and ambitions of those we exist to support.
This is a role for someone who enjoys bringing people together, challenging thinking and turning great ideas into meaningful action.
Who are we looking for?
You'll already understand what great co-production looks like.
Perhaps you've worked within social care, health, education or another person-centred environment where partnership working and lived experience are at the heart of everything.
