Full job description

Please apply by sending a CV and a personal statement referencing the points in the person specification below to [email protected]

As a Relevant Person’s Representative (RPR), you’ll support individuals who are deprived of their liberty, primarily in the Gwent area, ensuring they understand their rights, feel heard, and are treated with dignity and respect. You’ll build trusted relationships, listen carefully to wishes and feelings, and advocate on behalf of people in environments where their voice can sometimes be overlooked.

MHFA Wales provides RPR service across Gwent as well as the Cardiff & Vale areas. You’ll work across care settings, alongside families and professionals, to ensure that care arrangements are appropriate, proportionate, and truly in the person’s best interests. This includes challenging decisions where necessary, and always striving for the least restrictive options.

At MHFA Wales, you won’t be doing this in isolation. You’ll be part of a passionate, values-driven team who genuinely care about the work we do and the people we support. We are a supportive, down-to-earth group who believe in doing the right thing - even when it’s not the easiest option - and who are committed to creating a culture where compassion, integrity, and human rights sit at the heart of everything.

We believe that work/life balance is important, and as such, along with holiday allowance, we also have 3 extra gifted days (2 at Christmas, 1 at Easter,) and any non-RPR visit work can be done from home.

Applicants must have access to a car and be willing and able to travel, particularly in the Gwent area as per the role requirement.

If you believe you could thrive in this role, we’d love to hear from you even if you don’t meet every requirement listed. Don’t let that hold you back from applying.

Please apply by sending a CV and a personal statement referencing the points in the person specification to [email protected]

Application deadline is Monday 17th August 2026, 5pm.

Interviews to be held at our office in Pontypool (DATE TBC).
