About The Advocacy Project

We help people speak up and make decisions about their health, wellbeing and social care. We’re here to make sure people across all ages and care groups can understand their rights, make effective choices about their lives and voice their concerns.

Some of the ways we do this include:

  • advocacy services that make sure people can express their wishes when decisions are being made about their care or  wellbeing
  •  user involvement projects that help organisations improve what they offer by listening to people who use their services
  • local Healthwatch organisations, which act as health and social care champions for the areas they serve and give people a direct channel to share their feedback

Our services are independent, confidential, and free to those receiving them. Together, our teams are standing up for essential rights and supporting people to have a say on the issues that matter to them.

About the role

The Autism Care Navigator project will improve access to pre and post diagnostic support for Brent residents on the Adult Autism Assessment waiting list. The Project will work closely with the Brent LD community team, other healthcare providers including primary care, and Brent residents.

The post holder will offer care navigation support to individuals, helping people to access health and social care services and improving understanding of what services are available. They will collect people’s stories and experiences, run consultations and focus groups and feed into wider consultation, working to address system issues. The role will also involve sitting on relevant strategic boards and groups to make sure that experiences and challenges of people with autism in Brent are included in decision making.

  • Develop and support an effective advisory group of autistic people to help inform and improve the service.
  • Work according to the Equality Act 2010 and other forms of legislation that combat discrimination and promote equality and diversity.
  • Develop good working relationships with key staff within health and social care services.
