We have an exciting vacancy for a part-time Independent Advocate (Support and care workers welcomed to apply) to join our West Midlands team working on our Walsall Advocacy contract. This contract covers a range of advocacy services including Independent Mental Health advocacy and Intendent Mental Capacity advocacy.

Have you ever supported a family member or friend at a difficult meeting? Have you helped them to be listened to or have their voice heard? If you have challenged decisions made about them then you have been an advocate

We need people who are good communicators with a passion for supporting vulnerable people to have a voice. 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.

Ideally you will have experience working with and supporting vulnerable adults often with profound and multiple needs, 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 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. **A full induction and training schedule along with IAP (Independent Advocacy Qualification) will be provided** as well as ongoing peer mentoring and support.

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 Walsall border.
