Self-Advocacy Coordinator

People First Bridgend is a small, charitable incorporated organisation founded in 2016. We are part of the world-wide People First self-advocacy movement. People First aims to give people with learning disabilities greater voice and control so that they may lead a rich, full life. The Self-Advocacy Coordinator helps the Operations Manager link People First's activities together and with relevant activities outside of People First. It ensures our beneficiaries get the right support at the right time. It is principally a support role and aids all other roles in PFB to be more effective. Principle responsibilities include: Coordinate and facilitate PFB's self-advocacy group. Support our members' attendance and input into self-advocacy activities, such as the local and regional service development workstreams. Strengthen links with known advocacy referral sources, such as BCBC social services, BAVO community navigators, to ensure awareness of PFB's services. Assist the Operational Manager in establishing new partnership-working/referral sources. Maintain links with the wider People First movement.
