A bit about us
We are an independent, Human Rights based charity and one of the UK’s largest providers of advocacy, advocacy-related and Healthwatch services. We make sure people are heard when it matters most, supporting people who are often vulnerable and excluded, in having a say about issues that are important to them and decisions that are being made about their lives.
For more information about advocacy and what we do, please go to our website where you will also find information about our attractive benefits package on the Jobs Vacancies page.
We are looking to recruit a multi-skilled permanent Supervising Advocate to join our busy multi- disciplinary team, working up to 37 hours per week, (minimum 25 hours) starting salary £26,249 per annum pro rata.
About the role
The Supervising Advocate is, essentially, a dual role - As a capable and confident Supervisor you will take responsibility for the day to day operational supervision of your advocates ensuring they are fully supported and equipped to meet the needs of the clients and supporting the Team Manager in service delivery. You will also hold a small multi-disciplinary case load.
What we need from you
We are looking for someone with creativity, enthusiasm and good organisational and leadership skills to support both staff and clients, ideally with experience in a health or social care setting and/or working in a supervisory role. If you haven’t got advocacy qualifications, we can offer training. You’ll be mainly working from home but will also need to engage with your colleagues and external people.
As this role is home based with regular travel across the area, you must have access to both a stable home broadband service and easy access to transport as well as flexibility with working hours.
