It jobs

About this role:

Your Voice Counts deliver high quality independent advocacy services that support people with a range of health and social care needs. We are looking for a Senior Advocate to support our Advocacy team, and to help us ensure delivery of an effective, high-quality service. The Advocacy team provides a range of advocacy services across the North East including non- statutory and statutory advocacy roles to clients under the Mental Health Act, the Mental Capacity Act, the Care Act and DOLS legislation.

As Senior Advocate, you will line-manage a team of advocates and be responsible for providing support, developing your team, and managing performance. You will work closely with our Head of Advocacy to review, maintain and improve the quality of our advocacy services, including analysing data and producing reports. You will support the effective and timely allocation of referrals, and you will be a point of contact for queries about our advocacy services.

You will also be expected to manage your own caseload of advocacy referrals. This will involve meeting with clients, professionals and other stakeholders and ascertaining and representing your client’s wishes, views and beliefs.  As such, the role involves travel to locations such as clients’ homes, hospitals, care homes, and community settings. While some work can be completed from home, particularly administrative tasks, access to your own transport and a reliable home internet connection is essential.

To learn more about Advocacy and the services we provide, please visit our website.

What we do:

Your Voice Counts’ advocacy services promote social inclusion, equality and social justice by supporting people to say what they want, to secure their rights and to represent their interests when they are unable to do so themselves. 

The Advocacy Charter

“Advocacy is taking action to support people to say what they want, secure their rights, pursue their interests and obtain services they need.

6. Maintain a focus on the delivery of a high-quality advocacy service. Review key statistical and qualitative data to ensure the service is reaching agreed targets.

7. Carry a case load of advocacy referrals – the size of your case load will be dependent on the size of the team you are managing and your hours of work. 

8. Promote and publicise the advocacy service in creative ways to ensure it reaches people who may require the service. Promote the service to other stakeholders such as partner organisations and professionals.

9. Keep abreast of developments in relevant legislation and good practice guidance.
