Role

We are seeking an innovative, motivated, compassionate and resilient Citizen Advocacy Co-ordinator to join our team. 

In this role, you will support a number of Volunteer Citizen Advocates who have recently completed their volunteer training, offering them ongoing support & supervision and training. Citizen Advocacy encourages ordinary citizens to become involved with the welfare of those who might need support in their communities. It is based on trust between the person being supported and the citizen advocate.

This role is a fixed-term contract made possible by pilot funding from the Scottish Government. We are hopeful that further funding will be made available moving forward. 

The role ensures advocacy relationships are safe, effective, independent, and person centred, while promoting choice, rights, and social inclusion.

We’re looking to match our Volunteer Citizen Advocates with advocacy partners living in the Perth city area aged over 65.

The Organisation

Independent Advocacy Perth & Kinross is a values-driven, rights-based organisation providing independent advocacy to individuals across Perth & Kinross. We support people to have their voices heard, their rights upheld, and to be fully involved in decisions affecting their lives. As an organisation, we are holders of hope and human rights defenders. 

What We Offer

• A supportive and inclusive working and team environment.

• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.

• Generous annual leave and benefits package.

• The chance to make a genuine difference in people’s lives.
