Forth Valley Advocacy is an independent advocacy service promoting the rights, freedom and dignity of vulnerable people, supporting people to have their say and defending disadvantaged people from abuse and exploitation. The service is based on human rights principles and ensures that a stronger voice is given to individuals made vulnerable by complex life situations.

Following a recent successful recruitment process we now aim to a further advocacy worker to our dedicated team, enabling Forth Valley Advocacy to continue the provision of high quality, person centred Independent Advocacy services across the Forth Valley area.

You will join an enthusiastic group of experienced Advocacy Workers and will report to the Chief Officer. The caseload is varied and will include work with individuals who are subject to legislation, including mental health care and treatment, and people using care and support services or who are in transition between services or settings.

With a commitment to ensuring that Advocacy Partners voices are heard, you will have a strong belief in empowerment and inclusion. As a member of the expanded team, you will contribute to the development of the service as it continues to provide independent advocacy throughout this period of growth.

Due to the widespread geography covered by this post, you must be a car driver with access to a car.

*The service is based in Falkirk but covers the whole of the Forth Valley area. Hybrid working arrangements are in operation although the successful individual will be required to work from our office during the induction period.

Recent applicants need not reapply as their applications will be reviewed as part of this recruitment exercise.

We are committed to equality and diversity and welcome applications from all backgrounds.
