About the Role
You will join a newly established Advocacy and Advice Service supporting children, young people and their families to navigate education, health and benefits systems.
Families often face unclear pathways, complex processes and inconsistent information. Your role is to bring clarity, structure and confidence at key moments.
Working in a strengths-based and relational way, you will help families understand their rights, prepare for key decisions and access the support they need.
This is a non-statutory role. You will not replace legal or statutory services, but you will ensure families are informed, prepared and able to engage effectively.
You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, contributing to a joined-up, whole-family approach across Children & Family Services.
