Role Description
CAPS is looking for a new Collective Advocacy worker to add capacity to the work of this established collective advocacy project. The role is to ensure more people’s voices are heard by decision-makers locally and nationally. This post will increase access to Independent Collective Advocacy for people with mental health issues in Edinburgh. The group will continue to develop its own priorities by drawing on their experiences with a view to bringing about change and improving services.
This 3.5-day-a-week role will support and join the existing enthusiastic team of CAPS’ Collective Advocacy workers, who work across Lothian on eight different mental health-related collective advocacy projects.
The role offers autonomy and flexibility. You should be friendly and approachable, with the ability to form trusting relationships with group members and colleagues. Some working from home is possible. This is a great opportunity to work with a dynamic independent advocacy organisation that’s making a real difference to people’s lives.
