  4. Experts by Experience Involvement Roles
We put the experiences of people living with mental illness at the heart of everything we do. From campaigning and policy work to developing new services and groups, we understand the value that experts by experience can bring when delivering our goal of equity for all.

Rethink is committed to ensuring that people with lived experience of mental health issues and carers work together with professionals as equal partners in a way that is meaningful and effective from the outset. We work across the UK to ensure that the voices of people with lived experience are heard and influence our work.

At Rethink we support people in a variety of lived experience roles, these are some of our current vacancies.
