Advocacy is a powerful force for change. It allows individuals to have their voices heard and respected when decisions are being made about their health and social care. It raises awareness of people’s rights and entitlements and empowers people to advocate for themselves or speak up for them when they can’t.

The Advocacy People are an independent, Human Rights based charity and one of the UK’s largest providers of advocacy, advocacy-related and Healthwatch services who make sure people are heard when it matters most. 

You can find out more about advocacy and what we do on our website.

Being an advocate makes a difference, so if you’re hoping for a rewarding, varied, interesting role as part of a friendly, supportive team, read on!

About the role

Advocates support people to express their views, understand their rights and make informed decisions. Much of their work is with some of the most vulnerable in our society who cannot speak up for themselves and have no family members or friends who can do so. Most of what we do operates within the legislative frameworks of the Mental Capacity Act, Care Act, Mental Health Act and NHS Health Complaints process.

We are looking to recruit a permanent multi-skilled advocate to join our Berkshire team, working a minimum of 21 hours per week, up to 37 hours considered, starting salary £23,314 per annum, pro rata.

The post is multi-disciplinary and will cover all forms of advocacy. 

What we need from you

Putting people at the heart of what you do, you will work with people from across our communities. How you work will depend on each individual so the ability to communicate in a variety of ways, verbally and non-verbally, with clients and professionals, is key to success.

You may or may not have direct experience of this in your own life, or in another role, or have relevant qualifications but this isn’t a problem as we can offer training. We’re looking for people who are creative, flexible and organised, able to balance direct work with people with important administrative tasks.

As this role is home based with regular travel, mainly but not exclusively in the Berkshire area, you must be based in Berkshire or surrounding counties, you must have access to both a stable home broadband service, good mobile signal, a clean driving licence and your own transport as well as flexibility with working hours.

Bydd Dyletswyddau Cyffredinol y Dirprwy Reolwr Recriwtio yn cynnwys:

• Mynychu a darparu’r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i gyfarfodydd timau ardal.

Er yn gweithio gartref, bydd gofyn i’r Dirprwy Reolwr Recriwtio deithio ar gyfer gweithgareddau recriwtio ledled Cymru ac yn ardal Bryste. Mae gofyniad hefyd i allu teithio i gyfarfodydd tîm, diwrnodau lles, diwrnodau cwrdd i ffwrdd TACT a digwyddiadau wyneb yn wyneb eraill ledled y DU yn ôl yr angen. Oherwydd lleoliad y gweithgareddau recriwtio, byddai ymgeiswyr sy’n byw yng Nghymru (de-ddwyrain Cymru yn ddelfrydol – Caerdydd a Chasnewydd) yn cael eu ffafrio.

Mae angen archwiliad manwl gan y Gwasanaeth Datgelu a Gwahardd (DBS) ar gyfer y rôl hon, a bydd yn cael ei brosesu gan TACT ar eich rhan.

Mae diogelu yn fusnes i bawb ac mae TACT yn credu mai dim ond y bobl sydd â’r sgiliau a’r gwerthoedd iawn ddylai weithio ym maes gwaith cymdeithasol. Fel rhan o ymrwymiad TACT i ddiogelu, rydym yn archwilio sgiliau, profiad, cymwysterau a gwerthoedd darpar staff mewn perthynas â’n gwaith gyda phlant ifanc agored i niwed. Rydym yn defnyddio dulliau recriwtio trwyadl a chyson i helpu i ddiogelu pobl ifanc TACT. Disgwylir i’n holl staff weithio yn unol â pholisïau diogelu TACT.

Rydym yn cadw’r hawl i gau hysbyseb swydd yn gynharach na’r hyn a hysbysebwyd os yw nifer y ceisiadau’n ormodol, felly fe’ch cynghorir i wneud cais cyn gynted ag y bo modd.

Nid yw TACT yn derbyn dogfennau CV digymell gan asiantaethau recriwtio allanol nac yn derbyn y ffioedd sy’n gysylltiedig â nhw.
