What Opportunities would you be interested in
Name*

Personal Experience

Please let us know a little about yourself and your journey. Feel free to share a little or as much information of your experience as you feel comfortable with. There will be an opportunity to speak in greater depth with our Involvement Lead, if you prefer.
E.g. Asthma, epilepsy, autism, limited mobility, ADHD, dyslexia, or anything you take medication for.

Availability

Payment*
Please be aware that we offer an optional payment for time and travel expenses for lived experience participation, to encourage as wide a variety of people to get involved as possible. It is up to the individual to accept or decline this offer, and reimbursement should be applied for through a reimbursement form. As undertaking paid work can affect individuals’ Universal Credit payments, every service user receiving Universal Credit is encouraged to contact their DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) Job Coach. This will help them understand their individual circumstances and how accepting a payment may impact their benefits.
Criminal Convictions Declaration*
As part of its equal opportunity policy, Oxfordshire Mind wishes to ensure it does not discriminate against ex-offenders. If you have any convictions that are unspent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, please let us know and provide details below. Please note that some posts within Oxfordshire Mind that are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 as they involve working with vulnerable adults and/or children and young people and will require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. If you have applied for an exempt post and have a spent conviction, please supply details below.
Declaration*
I confirm that to the best of my knowledge all information I have given in my application is correct. Any false, deliberate omission or misleading information may result in termination of your Involvement placement. I also agree for data on this form to be kept by Oxfordshire Mind.
