We are looking for a passionate Trainee Single Discipline RPR Advocate to work as part of our Camden & Islington Advocacy Team.

Imagine being part of an organisation whose common purpose is to help those who are severely impacted by mental illness. We believe that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity – and that’s why equity is one of our core values. We draw on the expertise, unique perspectives and lived experience of our people – regardless of who they are or their background – to help us become inclusive and anti-racist employer, campaigning organisation and service provider that reflect the diverse communities we support as a mental health charity.

As an unqualified, inexperienced Trainee Single Discipline Advocate (paid RPR), you will be required to enrol on the Level 4 Independent Advocacy Practice qualification and complete the course within a set timescale, using protected study time to focus on this. You will shadow experienced team members and then be observed providing support to those who are eligible for our services until you are able to pick up a caseload of your own. Although your focus will be providing paid RPR support, you will receive training across the different remits of advocacy, instructed and non-instructed advocacy and safeguarding and be supported to develop a thorough understanding of the role and boundaries of advocacy. The role involves representing people who have been deprived of their liberty, empowering them to have a say in their situation, to understand their rights and any options open to them and challenging capacity assessments where you feel they are incorrect. When the person cannot communicate their views to you, you will ensure that their unique preferences and views are taken into consideration in any decisions made by care providers.

About the role

Advocacy is having someone by your side, and on your side, when you want to be more involved in decisions about your care, treatment and living arrangements. An advocate can talk through the situation you’re currently in and the options open to you. They can help you decide what you want and then communicate it to people. This is particularly useful if it’s difficult to understand things or to speak up and be heard.

Integrated service provides a range of specialist advocacy services to Adults as appropriate across a range of disciplines. We provide a range of statutory (instructed or non-instructed) and non-statutory advocacy support in secure units, hospitals, care settings or in the community, working with a range of health and social care partners.
