We have an exciting opportunity for a full time Independent Advocate to join our London team working on our Advocacy contracts with travel across Waltham Forest and Greenwhich (London) and some travel within the M25 boundaries.

If you have ever supported a family member or friend at a difficult meeting - if you have supported them to be listened to or have their voice heard - if you have ever challenged decisions made about them you have been an advocate

It would be great if you have worked in advocacy, information and advice or similar role before, in a health, social care or voluntary setting but not essential.

We need people who are first and foremost good communicators with a passion for supporting vulnerable people to have a voice.

In this role you will be supporting a wide range of vulnerable adults often with profound and multiple needs.

You will need to have a flexible attitude and must be comfortable handling highly sensitive information whilst able to work well independently and confidently on behalf of others.

Time management skills will be required and you will need to be computer literate. A full induction and training will be provided as well as ongoing peer mentoring and support.

Because of the nature and location of the role, applicants must live within the advertised area;
Travel expenses will be paid once travelling for work purposes within London Zones 1- 6 and the M25 boundaries.
