Trainee Multi Disciplinary Advocate

2 weeks ago


Barnet, Greater London, United Kingdom Rethink Mental Illness Full time

We are looking for an experienced and passionate Trainee Multidisciplinary Advocate to work as part of our Camden & Islington 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 talk through the situation you're currently in and the options open to you. They can help you decide what you want and then communicate it to people. This is particularly useful if it's difficult to understand things or to speak up and be heard.

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.
