Company Overview

Reconstruct has been established since 1990 and has continually worked to improve the lives of children and young people. We deliver high-quality Advocacy, Independent Visiting, Participation and Mentoring services, ensuring that children’s voices are heard and their rights upheld.

We place the child at the heart of everything we do. Every child is unique, and we believe each situation deserves an individualised, child-led response that meets their needs and promotes positive outcomes

About the Advocacy Service

The purpose of this service is to provide exceptional independent advocacy for:

Children in Need
Children on Child Protection Plans
Children with Disabilities
Children in Care
Care Leavers up to age 25
Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children, including those placed out of borough.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Advocacy Coordinator to take day-to-day responsibility for our contracted Children’s Advocacy service.

You will ensure the service is delivered to a high standard, remains independent and child-led at all times, and that children and young people are supported to understand their choices, express their wishes and feelings, and have their voices heard by professionals involved in their lives.

This is a varied role combining service coordination, staff supervision, stakeholder engagement and direct advocacy delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Ensure advocacy practice complies with the National Standards for the Provision of Children's Advocacy Services and organisational quality standards.
Adhere to safeguarding policies and escalate concerns appropriately.
Ensure data protection compliance in line with GDPR and organisational policies.

5. Reporting & Monitoring

Prepare regular performance reports, KPI data and service outcome information.
Collate quantitative and qualitative data on a regular basis for quarterly and annual reports for both internal and external audiences.
Represent Reconstruct at quarterly meetings with commissioners presenting quarterly report
Support audits, evaluations and contract monitoring processes.

6. Quality Assurance

· Undertake regular case audits to ensure advocacy records are accurate, compliant and child-focused.

Monitor the quality of advocacy practice and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
Ensure feedback from children and young people informs service development and quality improvement.
Support the management of complaints, compliments and learning from practice.

Other Duties
The post holder may be required to undertake other reasonable duties and responsibilities that are commensurate with the scope and grade of the post, as directed by their line manager, to meet the needs of the organisation.

The post holder will be expected to work independently, using professional judgement and initiative, whilst contributing positively as part of a supportive team.
