The Advocacy People believe in a society where; people feel in control of their lives and are confident to speak up and people who can’t speak up for themselves have someone in their corner to speak for them.
Can you listen, empathise, and communicate? Would you like to make a difference and learn new skills? The Advocacy People are recruiting Volunteer Advocates! You will play a vital role in providing one-to-one advocacy for vulnerable people, making sure that their views are put across.
You may be asked to: organise client visits, meet with the client at their place of residence, participate in best interest meetings.
Throughout your time working with them you will be fully supported by an experienced advocate.
