Children's Rights Advocate

2 weeks ago


Rotherham, United Kingdom Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council Full time

Job description

**Permanent, 37 Hours Per Week, Full Time**

Are you passionate about working with young people?

We are seeking to employ an enthusiastic and committed individual who will support the Rotherham’s Right 2 Rights Team in delivering a Rights and Advocacy service to children and young people who are, or who have been, looked after by the local authority. This work includes supporting those who are placed outside of Rotherham and therefore involves the post holder travelling outside of the Borough.

We work hard to ensure that all of our children and young people are given a positive introduction to what the Right2Rights service is about. We make contact with every child over 5 years of age within their first 6 weeks of becoming looked after and provide them with essential information.

The role is at times challenging and demanding whilst being equally rewarding and fulfilling. The work is interesting and creative and we require the post holder to be confident around engaging with children and be able to hear their voice, representing this whatever the issue. We are looking for people who have experience of working in demanding and changing environments. Our service is fundamental in ensuring that we engage and communicate well with children and young people of all ages and abilities. Equally the post holder will need to engage well with carers; parents and professionals.

We are a service which is driven by improving outcomes and life chances for some of our most vulnerable children and young people. Advocates within our service are tasked with ensuring that children and young people are appropriately informed of their rights and that they are supported in expressing their wishes and feelings in any meeting or circumstance which impacts on their life and care experiences.

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our workforce, and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our customers, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.
