Crynodeb
The Advocacy People are an independent, Human Rights based charity and one of the UK’s largest providers of advocacy, advocacy-related and Healthwatch services who make sure people are heard when it matters most.
Advocates support people to express their views, understand their rights and make informed decisions. Much of their work is with some of the most vulnerable in our society who cannot speak up for themselves and have no family members or friends who can do so. Most of what we do operates within the legislative frameworks of the Mental Capacity Act, Care Act, Mental Health Act, and NHS Health Complaints process.
We are looking to recruit permanent, multi-skilled advocates to join our Kent team, preferably working 37 hours per week (full-time), but part-time hours, a minimum of 22.5 hours (3 days), will be considered. The starting salary is £24,562 per annum (pro rata).
The post is multi-disciplinary and will cover all forms of advocacy.
What we need from you
Putting people at the heart of what you do, you will work with people from across our communities. How you work will depend on each individual so the ability to communicate in a variety of ways, verbally and non-verbally, with clients and professionals, is key to success.
You may or may not have direct experience of this in your own life, or in another role, or have relevant qualifications but this isn’t a problem as we can offer training - please refer to the Certificate in Independent Advocacy Practice document with the advert.
We’re looking for people who are creative, flexible and organised, able to balance direct work with people with important administrative tasks.
As this role is home-based with frequent travel across Kent, we need you to be based within the Kent boundary as, if living outside the county, you will only be reimbursed expenses from the border.
You must have access to both a stable home broadband service and good mobile signal, a full driving licence with full business cover insurance and your own transport, as well as flexibility with working hours.
We look forward to hearing from you!
