Children's Rights and Advocacy Worker

3 months ago

Ilford, Greater London, United Kingdom Barnardo's Full time

Barnardo's is seeking an empathetic and child led individual who can work within a dynamic and fast-paced environment using their strong organisation, communication and time management skills to support children in the secure estate.


This position (Children's Rights and Advocacy Worker - Project Worker 2) is based within Feltham YOI, Bedfont Road, Feltham, TW13 4ND, which accommodates children aged between 15-18 years, who are in custody either sentenced or on remand.

Barnardo's refers to Young Offender Institutions (YOI's) and Secure Training Centres (STC's) as the Secure Estate _(please note, the location of some _secure_ _establishments_ may mean _they_ are not easily accessed by public transport).

_


Barnardo's is commissioned by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to provide an Independent Children's Rights and Advocacy (ICRAS) Service to children accommodated in a secure setting.


The service is known to children as Barnardo's:
Your Rights, Your Voice, and currently works within five Young Offender Institutes, and one Secure Training Centre.

The ICRAS service is child led and independent of the secure estate; our service is delivered within Feltham YOI to ensure children can freely access support for a range of issues linked to their needs, rights & experiences of custody, resettlement, and safeguarding.

As such this is a child-facing service, and at times involves lone working in the establishments, so we are seeking someone who can see the child, not the offence.


We hold 'voice' at the heart of all we do, therefore we feel the role is best described by someone who is currently working in this service: "The role is a Children's Rights and Advocacy role, which means it is our job to empower the children we work with and help them to understand that what they think, what they feel and what they want really matters.

We can speak on behalf of children to ensure their voice is heard and we also have the opportunity to help them to find the tools and confidence to raise their voices for themselves.

Advocacy and Children's Rights support is particularly crucial in the secure estate because children are away from home, family and champions, and also because children in secure estate are some of the most vulnerable children in society; they have often faced considerable adversity, disadvantage and discrimination prior to arriving into custody and they might not therefore be equipped with the skills needed to articulate their concerns.

Through the work you do with a child from simply helping them make contact with friends or family on the outside, to helping them with concerns they may have for example; discrimination, resettlement or safeguarding.

You may be the one person telling them they matter for the very first time."


The position (Children's Rights and Advocacy Worker - Project Worker 2) is line managed by a Team Manager, reporting to an off-site senior manager.

The post holder will need to be able to work autonomously, working to the requirements of the contract and the regime of the YOI.

The secure estate is a highly structured environment; as a Barnardo's service we deliver independent advocacy and support for a range of issues, whilst still having to follow and adhere to this structure.

This is a part-time vacancy with up to 20 hours available per week. Interviews are expected to be during the week commencing the 22nd April 202- Pay & Reward Framework

  • We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's _values_. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people._
  • For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out 1st April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a key pillar of our _People & Culture_ Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to grow and develop in their career at Barnardo's as it will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues to progress through the pay band of their role. _
  • Benefits
  • 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing after 5 years service
  • The ability to buy up to another 5 days annual leave via our HolidayPlus scheme
  • A host of family friendly leave options including company Maternity Paternity and Adoption pay; together with all family additional leave options
  • Service related sick pay from day
  • Access to a Group Personal Pension with a matched 4% or 6% contribution from Barnardo's. Ability to pay via salary sacrifice to garner both tax and NI savings on your own contribution
  • Death in service cover of 4x annual earnings for all staff contributing to our Group Personal Pension
  • Cycle2work scheme
  • Interest free season ticket loans
  • Discounts and cashback from at high street shops including major supermarkets, cinemas, gyms, leisu
