Role

Are you a resilient, compassionate professional with outstanding listening skills and a passion for making a difference to families of children with complex needs?

Kindred Advocacy is looking for someone exceptional to join our team. You'll work directly with families in the RHCYP Hospital in Edinburgh, providing independent advocacy, emotional support, and practical advice to families - often at some of the most challenging times in their lives.

You’ll need to be a meticulous record keeper, confident working on your own initiative, and skilled at building strong relationships with a variety of partners including clinical staff at the hospital. 

This varied and rewarding role could suit someone with a background in social work, learning disability nursing, independent advocacy, or family support work. We know that some people, particularly those from ethnic minority backgrounds, disabled applicants, and other underrepresented groups, may be less likely to apply for roles unless they meet every single requirement. We want to say clearly: if you are passionate about this work and share our values, we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t tick every box. You might be exactly who we need.

Any appointment to this role will be subject to satisfactory references and a PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) check.
