Stevenage, United Kingdom POHWER (Registered Charity) Full time

**Home working**:With travel across East Anglia, Cambridge, Watford and Stevenage

**Job reference**:63

**Contract type**:Permanent

**Full time**:37 hours per week, between Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm

**Salary**:£21,715.00 - £23,292.00 per annum _(dependent on experience) +Benefits_

- 25 days annual leave
- Cash Wellbeing Healthcare Plan Cover
- Death in service benefit
- Option to buy up to 5 days annual leave
- Discretionary shut down days at Christmas
- 1 Community Leave Day per annum
- Bike to work scheme

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Full time Mental Health Advocate to join our team, working in East Anglia, Cambridge, Watford and Stevenage on our Advocacy contracts within our **Secure Services Team**.

If you have ever supported a family member or friend at a difficult meeting - if you have supported by listening to them to have their voice heard - if you have challenged decisions made about them you have been an advocate

It would be great if you have worked in advocacy, information and advice or similar role before, in a health, social care or voluntary setting but not essential. We need people who are first and foremost good communicators with a passion for supporting vulnerable people to have a voice.

You will have robust experience working with vulnerable adults who are affected by significant health and social care issues who find it difficult to speak up for themselves; and evident experience providing persuasive verbal and written representations.

You will be a confident positive team player, able to work in partnership with clients and professionals, gaining an understanding of their issues by listening, exploring options and taking action as directed by them. You will need to have a flexible attitude and must be comfortable handling highly sensitive information whilst able to work well independently and confidently on behalf of others. Strong communication skills and time management skills will be required and you will need to be computer literate.

Because of the nature and location of the role, applicants must have a full driver’s licence and access to their own transport. All reasonable **travel expenses** will be paid in line with POhWER’s expenses policy.

**How to apply**

**Closing Date**:09:00am, Wednesday 9th August 2023

**Location of Interviews**:Remote (via Zoom)

A DBS check will be required for this post.

POhWER is an equal opportunities employer, holder of the Investors in People Silver award and a member of the MINDFUL EMPLOYER scheme. We are a member of the Positive about Disability scheme and disabled applicants who meet all the essential criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
