Purpose of role

The role of a community advocate will be to provide support to individuals 18+ within the community to have a voice in decisions affecting their life, whilst helping them to understand their rights. The role will require the post holder to promote self-advocacy and empowerment and enable people to make informed decisions and get their views heard in matters relating to mental health and/or care and support needs within health and social care. This will be through one-to-one advocacy and other models of advocacy as required. This activity will include working with people with substantial difficulty, learning disabilities, mental health needs, those with physical and sensory impairment, and older people- list is not exhaustive.

Supporting a person to access and navigate adult social care services
Supporting a person to express dissatisfaction with services such as NHS Organisations or Adult Social Care or speaking on the phone if appropriate
Support a person to understand what services are available to them both statutory and in the community to meet their health and social care needs

The post holder will also be required to confidently triage eligible and non-eligible referrals and making necessary contact to referrer/advocacy people where further clarification is needed. Where a case is not eligible, the post holder will be signposting the individual to other relevant services that can aid.

Promote self-advocacy through partnership working, encouraging the person to have maximum involvement in their case, where appropriate
