Crynodeb
Advocacy is a powerful force for change. It allows individuals to have their voices heard and respected when decisions are being made about their health and social care. It raises awareness of people’s rights and entitlements and empowers people to advocate for themselves.
We are looking to recruit a permanent Local Manager (Advocacy) to join our busy Berkshire team, working full-time, or a Job Share can be considered.
As a Local Manager, you will:
•Lead and line manage a team of advocates and volunteers, ensuring high-quality, person-centred services.
•Support your team to deliver on clear objectives and outcomes for local people.
•Carry a small personal caseload (no more than 20% of your time) to stay connected with frontline practice and build strategy locally.
Our advocates and volunteers help people, both Adults and Children, to express their views, understand their rights, and make informed decisions. Much of this work is guided by legislation such as the Mental Capacity Act, Care Act, Mental Health Act, NHS Complaints process and relevant Children’s Legislation. In Berkshire we also support people more generally in the community, not just through statutory advocacy.
As Local Manager, you’ll be someone your team can turn to for guidance in these areas. Full training will be provided, so you don’t need prior specialist knowledge, just the willingness to learn and support others.
You don’t need to have worked in advocacy before - we’ll provide training. What matters most is your ability to lead your team, communicate effectively, and stay organised.
We’re looking for someone who is:
•A strong communicator, able to work confidently with individuals, professionals, and your team.
•Creative, flexible, and well-organised.
•Committed to putting people at the heart of everything you do.
You’ll also need:
•To be based in or close to Berkshire, with flexibility to travel across Berkshire, the main Local Authority areas covered are Reading, Bracknell Forest and Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
•A full driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
•A stable broadband connection for home working.
•Some flexibility with working hours.
If this sounds like you, apply today!
