Advocate

We are looking to recruit an Advocate to work 15 hours per week that will provide independent and confidential advocacy to children and young people who are entitled to or are receiving support from a local authority in the Gwent region. You will work with children and young people to empower them to express their wishes and feelings in decisions that affect their lives to ensure that their voices are heard. Your role is to listen to them, hear how they feel and what it is they want and support them by promoting their understanding of outcomes and options that are available to them so they can make informed decisions whilst ensuring that their legal rights are upheld and that they are treated fairly.
