Job description

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 or speak up for them when they can’t.

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.

You can find out more about advocacy and what we do on our website here .

Being an advocate makes a difference, so if you’re hoping for a rewarding, varied, interesting role as part of a friendly, supportive team, read on!

We are looking to recruit a permanent multi‑skilled advocate to join our busy Berkshire multi‑disciplinary team, working on a zero hours basis, starting salary £24,562 per annum, pro rata, hourly rate £12.76.

The post is multi‑disciplinary and may cover all forms of advocacy, including IMCA, Care Act and Children and Young People’s 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 you will receive training and work towards the qualification, if required, once in post. We’re looking for people who are creative, flexible and organised, able to balance direct work with people alongside required administrative tasks.

This role is home‑based with regular travel across Berkshire and surrounding areas.

You must have access to both a stable home broadband service and good mobile signal, a full driving licence and your own transport, as well as flexibility with working hours. Ideally, you will be based in Berkshire or surrounding counties.

What happens next

If you’d like to know more, the full job description and information about how to apply can be found on our website here .

Anyone joining our team is subject to The Advocacy People’s Safer Recruitment pre‑appointment checks. Applicants invited to interview will need to bring evidence (photographic where possible) of their right to work in the UK and new employee start dates will only be confirmed once other mandatory checks, including the appropriate DBS clearance and 2 satisfactory references, one of which will need to be from your most recent or current employer, have been received.

We look forward to hearing from you!
