Advocacy Highland and Partners in Advocacy are undertaking an exciting new project funded by Highland Alcohol & Drug Partnership to provide independent advocacy for adults aged 16+ who have lived or living experience of dependence or recovery relating to alcohol and/or drug abuse. Initially the programme of work will cover Inverness City, northwards to include Dingwall, Alness, Invergordon and south to Carrbridge.
We are looking for enthusiastic and approachable individuals who share our values and commitment to helping empower vulnerable & marginalised people to secure their rights and have their voices heard.

Travel and out of pocket expenses will be paid in addition to salary. The successful applicant will be subject to a satisfactory PVG Disclosure Scotland check and references.
