Full Job Description

Individual Advocacy Worker (Mental Health and LGBTQIA+)

23.75 hours per week (part time over a minimum of 3 days).

12 months fixed term post (maternity cover and pilot project)

Salary Grade AP4: £25,778 – £28,533 p.a. FTE (£ 16.889 pro rata)

Location: East Lothian and Midlothian with LGBTQIA+ work in Edinburgh

This is a great opportunity to join CAPS’ friendly, supportive Individual Advocacy team to provide Individual Advocacy to adults in East Lothian and Midlothian who are experiencing mental health issues. This post will also pilot Individual Advocacy to the LGBTQIA+ community in Edinburgh – an extension to our current work in East Lothian and Midlothian. CAPS also provides an adult Individual Advocacy service for people who are affected by drugs or alcohol in Midlothian and East Lothian.

The focus of the work is the provision of Independent Advocacy – making sure that people’s views and wishes are heard. You will make sure people are informed about their options and their rights and assist people who have mental health issues to redress power imbalances in their lives and in their interactions with services. Individual Advocacy is very rewarding work that makes a real difference. Full training will be provided.

This post will be subject to membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. There will be a 4 month probationary period attached to this post. A mix of home and office working is possible but face to face working with people is essential.

Closing date for applications is Thursday 22 May 2025 at 12 noon. Provisional interview date Wednesday 11 June 2025.

CAPS Independent Advocacy is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Scottish Charity Number: SC021772

About this company

C A P S Independent Advocacy

View full company profile
CAPS is an Independent Advocacy Organisation which provides Individual Advocacy to people from East Lothian and Midlothian who have mental health issues or are using drugs and alcohol. We also provide advocacy for children and young people going through the Children’s Hearings process, in these areas. We provide Collective Advocacy to groups of people across Lothian with mental health issues so they can come together and voice their experiences in order to bring about change for others or improvements in services. The main purpose of CAPS’ work is therefore to assist people, through advocacy, as individuals or as members of a group, to set their own agenda, make their wishes known and to have a say in how they live and what services they use. Visit our website for more details www.capsadvocacy.org We are set up so that the organisation and its staff are as free as possible from any conflicts of interest. We are independent from the people who fund us and those who provide other services to the people we work with. CAPS is a member of the Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance (SIAA) and we adhere to the Principles and Standards of Independent Advocacy. CAPS was established in 1991.
