As the Advocacy Co-ordinator you will:
- Establish and maintain links with relevant campaigning organisations in the sector
- Stay on top of the launch of relevant campaigns, reports, budget announcements etc. and co-ordinate The Connection’s involvement in and public response to the above.
- Work closely with The Connection’s Service Delivery team to identify the policy changes that would have the greatest positive impact on people sleeping rough
- Create a strong link with a treatment specialist agency with an advocacy function to support this work (could be substance misuse or mental health), bringing credibility and additional connections/network
- Develop and deliver a well-evidenced and dynamic campaign, calling for increased access to treatment services for people experiencing homelessness.
- Establish links with the relevant local and national government bodies (e.g. Westminster Council, APPG for Ending Homelessness) and policy makers (local councillors, MPs, the Lord Mayor of Westminster), in support of our proposed policy changes.
- Co-ordinate the Connection’s participation in the debate about the repeal of the Vagrancy Act and emerging alternatives.
- Create key messages for the media on our work, to cover issues with the potential for reputational risk (begging, use of tents, enforcement etc.).
