Giving people a voice - and making sure it’s heard - is something POhWER does every day. We’re all about promoting equality, challenging unfairness and giving disadvantaged and vulnerable people access to high quality information, advice and advocacy services. POhWER is a registered charity that provides a range of services across England.

You will need to be visible on-site at secure mental health hospitals and will also provide some support within community settings. You will be supporting a wide range of vulnerable adults often with profound and multiple needs, so you will have experience of this type of work. This will include visiting mental health wards within the Birmingham area.

Ideally, you will have strong 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 experience providing persuasive verbal and written representations.

You will be supporting beneficiaries with a range of different types of support including at discharge meetings, at drop-ins and in the community.

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 live within the area; have a full driver’s licence and access to their own transport**. Travel expenses will only be paid once in the Birmingham border.

We apologise in advance, that if you do not hear back from us within two weeks of the closing date then please presume that you have been unsuccessful.
