Location: Devon
As an established leading rights-based charity, NYAS (National Youth Advocacy Service) is well-positioned to ensure that children, young people, and adults across England and Wales are fully respected, represented, and supported in expressing their views and having their rights upheld.
We work with care-experienced children, young people, and adults who are often reliant on statutory services, suffering the negative impact of the cuts in public expenditure. Our combination of social care and legal services places us in a unique position to ensure that they receive the services they need and that their voices are heard.
We are recruiting self-employed advocates to provide independent and confidential advocacy on behalf of NYAS to children, young people and adults in a variety of settings such as children’s homes, schools, secure units, etc.
Your role will enable them to ensure their voices are heard within decision-making processes that affect their lives. You will do this by listening to what they want and by informing them of their rights to get their wishes and feelings heard.
To be considered, you must have significant experience of direct work with children, young people or adults in a related setting. To meet the requirements of the role, you must live within Devon.
