Trainee Multi Disciplinary Advocate

6 months ago

Ilford, United Kingdom Rethink Mental Illness Full time

**We are looking for a passionate Trainee Multi-Disciplinary Advocate to join the team at the Essex Advocacy Service.**
- Appointments will be made at the minimum of the salary band

**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**:

- I provide a high quality, responsive and effective advocacy service in accordance with the service specification, contract and legislative timescales.
- I ensure that individuals understand and can exercise their rights; supporting people to access information, to understand better what is happening, what is planned, and the options available to them to make better informed decisions and be more involved in their care and support.
- I act on allocated referrals in accordance with the service standards and engagement protocols, communicating with referrers as required in order to ensure the client’s rights under the relevant act are observed.
- I ensure the client’s communication needs have been assessed and where possible communicate with the client to ascertain their wishes and views, thereafter to communicate with individuals and other agencies, representing the clients’ views, whilst keeping the client informed of progress of their issue.
- I represent patients’ interests when they are not able to do so themselves, including working within a best interests framework for any eligible patient who lacks the mental capacity to instruct the advocate
- I keep accurate factual records relating to the service users and their cases, including keeping the case management database up-to-date.
