An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part-time Secure & Complex Services Advocate (mental health advocates welcomed to apply) to join our team, working on our Advocacy contracts within our Secure Services Team in Priory Hospital Lincolnshire.

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. **A full induction and training schedule along with IAP (Independent Advocacy Qualification) will be provided** as well as ongoing peer mentoring and support.

**How to apply**
