Advocacy Network Coordinator

Our nationally recognised advocacy programme seeks to support best practice in the commissioning and delivery of independent advocacy. We want to make sure that people who draw on advocacy get the support they want and need, in the way they want and need it, when they want and need it.

We are seeking to appoint an Advocacy Network Coordinator with at least two years of experience of supporting complex or large-scale, multi-agency projects in the public or private sector within employment, social care, education or health.

• Commencing at £31,492 FTE per annum (£18,895 pro rata) subject to experience.
• Part-time (0.6), based from home, with occasional UK-wide travel in particular to London for onsite team meetings and Bath where we have serviced office space.
• We are happy to discuss a flexible working pattern over three or four days.
• 12 month fixed term, pending review of feasibility to extend.

Purpose of the role

This is an exciting new role to both support the existing ‘leaders in advocacy network’ and coordinate and lead the project, developing a membership body for the group to transition towards. The postholder will work with the Advocacy Programme Lead, members of the leaders' network and other key stakeholders.

We care about and value diversity in our workplace and are committed to equality of opportunity. Currently, our team is not sufficiently reflective of the diversity of the communities and people we strive to create positive change for. We want to redress this imbalance and recognise the positive value of diversity, promote equality and challenge unfair discrimination. We aim at all times to recruit the person who is most suited to the job and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds; men and women, people of all ages, sexual orientations, nationalities, religions and beliefs.

However, we particularly encourage applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, as presently these groups are underrepresented across our organisation.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to take part in our in-person selection day on Wednesday 19 March which will take place in London (short walk from Kings Cross station).

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to prepare a brief presentation to deliver at interview.
