About this role:
Your Voice Counts deliver high quality independent advocacy services that support people with a range of health and social care needs.

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.

For over 850 years, St John’s Foundation has been changing people’s lives, for good. As one of the UK’s oldest charities, we are proud to serve Bath and the surrounding area.
At the heart of our work is our almshouse community, where we provide housing for older adults in need. Alongside this, we run outreach services that help adults in Bath and North East Somerset to live independently for longer.
We are also working to reduce the Key Stage 2 education attainment gap in our area, which is the widest in the country. We address this by providing specialist support to the children who need it most.
Every aspect of our work is built upon our values of trust, kindness, and courage, and inspired by our purpose: to change lives. For good. It’s a long-term strategy, but we’re unwavering. After all, we’ve been around for 850 years.
