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.
Some examples of suitable courses:
- Independent Advocacy Practice – Level 4 – City & Guilds
- Autism Studies – PCert – University of Kent
Geographical Responsibilities

Recently featured as an Escape the City Top 100 Places to Work, The Girls’ Network is an award-winning charity with a large and growing network of supporters, mentors and schools across eight regions of England.
We are now looking for a Network Manager to join us in the North West.
FUNCTION: Delivering our successful mentoring programmes in Merseyside, with some work across the wider NW region also.
WHERE THE ROLE FITS: Reporting to: North Senior Network Manager
PAY BAND: £27,825 per annum
CONTRACT: Permanent
HOURS: 5 days per week, 37.5 hours (with some evening work)
LOCATION: Home based with weekly travel to schools and partners in Merseyside and the wider North West region (Access to own vehicle required).
WHAT WE DO
Young people from lower income families are 40% less likely to go to University than wealthier peers (Dept for Education, 2020) which can have a lifelong impact on earning potential. Covid-19 has deepened inequalities (Social Mobility Foundation, 2022) and negatively impacted on young people's wellbeing (GirlGuiding, 2020). We believe that no girls should have their futures limited by their gender, sex, ethnicity, background, or parental income and they should be supported to realise their ambitions, to discover their self-worth, and to develop their capacity to shape their world and their futures.
We work in communities of least advantage across England to deliver two core programmes to achieve this vision. Through our mentoring programme we connect 14-19 year old girls with a mentor and a wider network of role models who are women and deliver opportunities which help them to build life skills and nurture their ambitions. Based on the idea that 'you can't be what you can't see', our mentors often help girls to broaden their horizons and create a more positive vision of their futures. After the programme, the mentees can join a free, lifelong network of support - our Ambassador Community, which offers further opportunities to reach their goals, build their confidence and to share their voices and experiences.
Our programmes help girls and young women to develop the knowledge, skills, self-belief and opportunities to thrive, and to be supported as part of a network that champions them and ensures their voices are heard.
THE ROLE
This is an exciting role joining a Programme Team of 15 staff based throughout the UK. There is a small team of three based in the South. You will work closely and collaborate with the other Network Managers and share some priorities across the region, working to develop the region as a whole.

Recently featured as an Escape the City Top 100 Places to Work, The Girls’ Network is an award-winning charity with a large and growing network of supporters, mentors and schools across eight regions of England.
We are now looking for a Network Manager to join us in the Sussex region.
FUNCTION: Delivering our successful mentoring programmes in Sussex, with some work across the wider South Easst region also.
WHERE THE ROLE FITS: Reporting to: South Senior Network Manager
PAY BAND: £27,825 per annum
CONTRACT: Short Term Contract - 6 months to cover internal secondment
HOURS: 5 days per week, 37.5 hours (with some evening work)
LOCATION: Home based with weekly travel to schools and partners in Sussex. (Access to own vehicle useful)
WHAT WE DO
Young people from lower income families are 40% less likely to go to University than wealthier peers (Dept for Education, 2020) which can have a lifelong impact on earning potential. Covid-19 has deepened inequalities (Social Mobility Foundation, 2022) and negatively impacted on young people's wellbeing (GirlGuiding, 2020). We believe that no girls should have their futures limited by their gender, sex, ethnicity, background, or parental income and they should be supported to realise their ambitions, to discover their self-worth, and to develop their capacity to shape their world and their futures.
We work in communities of least advantage across England to deliver two core programmes to achieve this vision. Through our mentoring programme we connect 14-19 year old girls with a mentor and a wider network of role models who are women and deliver opportunities which help them to build life skills and nurture their ambitions. Based on the idea that 'you can't be what you can't see', our mentors often help girls to broaden their horizons and create a more positive vision of their futures. After the programme, the mentees can join a free, lifelong network of support - our Ambassador Community, which offers further opportunities to reach their goals, build their confidence and to share their voices and experiences.
Our programmes help girls and young women to develop the knowledge, skills, self-belief and opportunities to thrive, and to be supported as part of a network that champions them and ensures their voices are heard.
THE ROLE
This is an exciting role joining a Programme Team of 15 staff based throughout the UK. There is a small team of three based in the South.
