We are looking for a new group of ambassadors for 2023-24 to drive the work of A National Voice by using the results from a national survey which all children in care and care leavers will have had the opportunity to participate in. Ambassadors will start their year with training and skills to prepare for their role and plan their campaign.
If this sounds like an opportunity for you, please complete the application form telling us why you would be a good ambassador. Alternately, you send in a voice recording or video clip answering the same question.
Successful applicants will be asked to attend a short interview to meet the team and talk more about the role.
