Partners in Advocacy has established itself as one of Scotland's leading providers of independent advocacy, delivering exceptional advocacy services since 1998. 
  
We are thrilled to present a wonderful opportunity within our supportive and welcoming Highland team. As a Service Co-ordinator you will work alongside and supervise an Advocacy Worker colleague whilst also providing one-to-one independent advocacy to children and young people up to the age of 16 who live in the Highland Council area and who have lived/living experience of substance use (drugs and/or alcohol) – their own or those close to them.  Through this role, you will ensure that their voices and wishes are heard, enabling them to make informed choices, protect their rights and have a meaningful impact on decisions that affect their lives.
