Opportunities for care experienced young people in Camden - Camden Rise

Camden Council has a number of opportunities for young adults aged 18 to 28, who have experience of care, to get involved with the Council’s upcoming work from September to November 2024. No other specific experience is needed.

We will thank you with a £20 Love2Shop voucher per hour of your time you spend with us. Through all these pieces of work, your perspectives will be shared with senior leaders with the power to make change. 

Upcoming opportunities for 18 to 28-year-olds with care experience

• Design the future of support to find and keep housing. An opportunity for up to seven young people to work with our Strategy and Design team to shape the future of support to find and keep housing in Camden. Take part in three workshops and gain experience designing and analysing research on the experiences of young people who have received support from Camden.
• Help us create a brand new Hub for care experienced young people. An opportunity for two young people to help us choose a building and create a new community hub for care experienced young people in Camden.
• Share your views on the support you received from Camden. Various opportunities to share your own experience and give your opinion on the support you have received in Camden on different topics and how support could be improved. Topics will include health and wellbeing, education employment and training, connection and belonging.

We want you to draw on your lived experiences to help make our work more impactful. We will make an effort to respond to your preferences, including the opportunity you’d most like to take part in and when and where you’d like to meet (e.g. online/offline). We will also make sure someone who is trained to offer emotional support is available to you during your time working with us. You can find out more by downloading this flyer.

If you're interested, please fill in our online form by Friday 6 September.
