Trainee Multidisciplinary Advocate

London, Greater London, United Kingdom Rethink Mental Illness Full time
We are looking for an experienced and passionate
Trainee Multi-Disciplinary

Advocate to work as part of our Advocacy Team.


Imagine being part of an organisation whose common purpose is to help those who are severely impacted by mental illness.

We believe that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity - and that's why equity is one of our core values.

We draw on the expertise, unique perspectives and lived experience of our people - regardless of who they are or their background - to help us become inclusive and anti-racist employer, campaigning organisation and service provider that reflect the diverse communities we support as a mental health charity.


Advocacy is having someone by your side, and on your side, when you want to be more involved in decisions about your care, treatment and living arrangements.

An advocate can stand by you, and stand up for you, when important decisions are being made about your care, treatment and the way you live your life.

They can help you understand your rights and options, and then support you in expressing your views and wishes to the relevant services.

They can also speak up on your behalf if that's what you want.

People often work with an advocate when they're going through some kind of assessment or review of their care or treatment.


How you will make a difference


As an unqualified, inexperienced independent multi-disciplinary advocate, you will be required to enrol on the Level 4 Independent Advocacy Practice qualification and complete the course within a set timescale, using protected study time to focus on this.

You will shadow experienced team members and then be observed providing advocacy to those who are eligible for our services until you are able to pick up a caseload of your own.

You will receive training in the different remits of advocacy, instructed and non-instructed advocacy and safeguarding and be supported to develop a thorough understanding of the role and boundaries of advocacy.

The role involves acting on the instruction of the people you support, empowering them to have a say in their situation, to understand their rights and any options open to them and supporting them towards self-advocacy.

When providing non-instructed advocacy, you will ensure that the unique preferences and views of the person are taken into consideration in any decisions made by care providers.
