Children's Rights Advocate

4 weeks ago


Ilford, Greater London, United Kingdom Barnardos Full time

Barnardo's Children Rights provides a multidisciplinary service that offers Independent Visitor and Advocacy services to children in care. Our service is designed to empower young people by providing them with access to legal advice, information about the care system, and support with accessing housing and improving communication with professionals involved in their care.

The Advocacy service provides independent advice to children in care about their rights and entitlements. We seek to achieve a timely resolution for young people, often responding to urgent referrals where prompt action and negotiation with professionals is needed. Our cases are fast-turning, and we operate in a dynamic environment that requires a careful balance of competing priorities while ensuring safeguarding at all times.

As a member of our team, you will be based in our Crystal Palace office, which is close to public transport links. However, we offer flexible working arrangements, and you may choose to work from other secure and confidential locations, such as other Barnardo's buildings, a space within the Local Authority buildings, or from home.

We are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, which ensures it is fair, attractive, and progressive. Our pay framework is designed to support colleagues to belong, thrive, and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's. We also offer a range of benefits, including 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing after 5 years service, and access to a Group Personal Pension with a matched 4% or 6% contribution from Barnardo's.

Our workplace offer is based on trust, flexibility, and empowerment. We understand that our colleagues have different needs, and we encourage open conversations about what works best for them. This may mean working at one of our stores, services, working at home, at one of our Collaboration Hubs, or any combination of these.

We believe in creating equality of opportunity in the workplace and supporting people to manage their work-life balance. We offer flexible working arrangements, including the ability to buy up to another 5 days annual leave via our HolidayPlus scheme, and a host of family-friendly leave options, including company Maternity, Paternity, and Adoption pay.

We also offer access to a range of benefits, including cycle-to-work scheme, interest-free season ticket loans, discounts and cashback from high street shops, and 20% discount at Barnardo's stores. We provide free access to a round-the-clock employee assistance program for advice and support, and access to Barnardo's Learning and Development offer.
