The award-winning team works together with the Youth Trust to raise awareness of youth mental health issues and develop its own projects.
The group also guides and advises the Youth Trust’s work, to ensure the needs of young people in the local community are being met.
Youth Trust advocacy and development manager, Felicity Radak, said: “It’s important we have a variety of experiences represented in the group, so we can best understand and meet the needs of all young people on the Island.
“Our taskforce meets monthly to help develop Youth Trust services, meet with Island decision makers and work on their own projects.
"We believe that our services should be led by the voices of young Islanders and our taskforce plays a crucial role in making this a reality.”
Shortlisted applicants will be asked to take a short phone interview during the following week, with successful applicants invited to a recruitment evening.
Jazz, a founding taskforce member, added: “Being a part of the Youth Trust taskforce has enabled me to rediscover my passion for mental health advocacy, boosted my confidence and most importantly helped me find my voice to continue speaking up for change.”
