Affinity Trust is a national charity dedicated to supporting people with learning disabilities to live fulfilling lives. We are looking for an exceptional governance professional to join our senior leadership team as our new Head of Governance and Risk.

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, this is a high‑impact role at the heart of our organisation. You will lead governance and assurance, act as Company Secretary, oversee corporate risk and business continuity, and advise the Board and Executive Team.

As a trusted strategic partner, you will help ensure we meet our statutory and regulatory obligations, strengthen decision-making, and uphold our values.

You will be responsible for:

• Leading governance, assurance and Board/Committee support
• Acting as Company Secretary and ensuring statutory compliance
• Managing risk, internal control and organisational resilience
• Overseeing the performance of external legal advisors
• Providing governance oversight of data protection and information compliance

This standalone role requires significant expertise, confidence and integrity. You will bring strong knowledge of charity and company law, excellent Board-level communication skills, and the ability to balance strategic insight with hands‑on delivery.

• Excellent communication, diplomacy, and influencing skills.
• A proactive, values-led approach with the ability to work autonomously.

At Rethink Advocacy, we believe everyone deserves to have their voice heard — especially those who face barriers in navigating care, rights, and decision‑making. If you’re passionate about empowering people, eager to learn, and ready to grow into a skilled advocate, this could be the perfect role for you.

This role is a full-time 35 hour per week position, Monday to Friday between 9:00am till 17:00pm based in Exeter and the Devon & Torbay Surrounding areas. It requires that the successful candidate is able to travel to appointments within this area throughout their working day.

You’ll support people with a wide range of needs — including mental health conditions, learning disabilities, and physical or sensory disabilities — to express their wishes, understand their rights, and be part of decisions that affect their lives.

You don’t need previous advocacy experience.
What you do need is compassion, commitment, and a willingness to learn.

We’ll support you through:

• Full enrolment onto the Level 4 Independent Advocacy Practice qualification
• Protected study time
• Shadowing, observation, supervision and ongoing training
• Gradual progression to holding your own caseload
• Development in instructed and non‑instructed advocacy approaches

Once qualified, you’ll move into a full Multi‑Disciplinary Advocate role.

What you’ll be doing

• Empowering people to understand their options, rights, and decisions being made about their care
• Delivering advocacy across community and care settings, including homes, hospitals, secure units, and supported living
• Learning and working across three statutory advocacy remits (Independent Mental Health Advocacy IMHA, Independent Care Act Advocacy ICAA and Independent Health Complaints Advocacy IHCA)
• Building strong professional relationships with the people you support
• Maintaining accurate case records and ensuring safeguarding concerns are appropriately raised
• Working flexibly in the field — managing your own diary and travel across Devon & Torbay
• Contributing to service promotion, community awareness, and occasional projects

What we’re looking for

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Are passionate about empowering others and supporting their rights
• Can communicate clearly and sensitively with a wide range of people
• Are organised, self‑motivated and confident managing your own workload
• Are willing to learn and complete the Level 4 qualification
• Can work within clear professional boundaries and uphold confidentiality
