VCSE Sector Representatives
VCSE sector representatives bring a community and VCSE perspective to cross-sector boards and working groups that plan services for local populations or people with specific health conditions.
Most representatives sit on Integrated Locality Partnerships (ILPs). These are a way of joining up a wide range of local services to tackle the root causes of health inequalities and improve people’s health and wellbeing. Our representatives are responsible for:
Developing relationships between public sector organisations and the VCSE sector
Supporting effective communication and improving the way both sectors work together at a local level
Gathering and representing people’s experiences, priorities, views and concerns
Sharing information about the work of the ILP and the opportunities it presents
Representatives talk to local VCSE groups & organisations and attend forums - they champion the VCSE sector as an equal partner in the design and delivery of services.
They are appointed by Gloucestershire VCSE Strategic Partnership following an open recruitment process. Vacancies are advertised in our quarterly In Partnership newsletter and Gloucestershire VCSE Alliance’s weekly News Bulletin.
