Job Description

Post: SEAS Advocate

Reporting to: SEAS Programme Manager

Hours: 37 hours per week

Area: West Kent (Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Malling, Tunbridge Wells)

Office-Base: TBC

Salary: £23,785.71 to £26,428.57 (Depending on qualifications and experience)

Summary

Our SEAS Advocates are responsible for the day-to-day running of activities across the South East Autism Support (SEAS) Programme run by Advocacy for All. Our funding comes from the Kent & Medway NHS and Local Authority Partnership Trust. We facilitate a range of support for autistic adults without additional care and support needs in the community, including the Touch Base Project (crisis alternatives) and All Together Autistic (peer support groups).

The SEAS Programme employs the principles of self-advocacy – supporting individuals to be independent and to have their own voices be heard in conversations around their health and social wellbeing. It is not our role to offer advice or to provide direct or representational advocacy to our members. Instead, we offer a safe, adaptive environment for supported self-help through information, discussion, and lived-experience perspectives. We are committed to fostering a strong sense of autistic identity amongst our community of members, with person-centred and co-created ways of working.

Each of our SEAS Advocates will work across all of our projects, with a blend of one-to-one and group facilitation. Advocates will offer supported time-limited self-help for a caseload of autistic adults at risk of crisis across Kent and Medway, both face-to-face and via phone/Zoom. They will also run regular peer support groups, with each Advocate taking responsibility for communication, facilitation, advertisement, and growth of the offer across a particular geographic region.

As part of a small team, our Advocates will be expected to work autonomously and use their initiative to adapt and expand the SEAS offer. We support our Advocates to maintain high levels of quality and consistency through regular supervision, team meetings, and our Autism-Forward Training (AFT) offer.

About Advocacy for All

Advocacy for All is a locally rooted advocacy organisation with a strong history, which exists to give people a voice through one to one advocacy and self-advocacy groups. We believe that Bigger Voices = Better Lives.

Our approach is person-centered, empowering and rights-focussed. We place a strong value on supporting people to be as independent as possible. We believe that being fair, valuing diversity and involving people are extremely important.

Advocacy supports clients to express their views, assisting them in safeguarding their rights and ensuring that those who are particularly vulnerable or excluded have an opportunity to take forward issues that are of importance to them.

Autism-Forward Training (AFT)

We are committed to providing a professional, sustainable service for our members. As such, SEAS Advocates will be expected to hold, or be willing to work towards, a directly relevant autism- or advocacy-related qualification at Level 4 or above.

Advocates will be expected to identify a relevant course and educational provider, apply, and complete the course of study independent of their working commitments.

Advocacy for All will fund tuition fees and expenses up to the value of £2,500 p/a.

A temporary change of working pattern to 4-day working week while be considered for the duration of the training course by request.

We also provide a range of in-house training and e-Learning to support Advocates to develop new skills and maintain core competencies.

• Independent Advocacy Practice – Level 4 – City & Guilds
• Autism Studies – PCert – University of Kent
