Child Rights Adviser

The Children’s Commissioner for England sits at the heart of Government, delivering for children, and championing their voices and needs. This includes a particular responsibility towards children who rely on the state for their safety or protection.

The Child Rights Adviser will work as part of the Help at Hand team. Help at Hand provides advice, assistance and representation to children in care, children working with social services, children living away from home and care leavers. The post holder’s primary responsibility will be to assist these children to ensure their rights are upheld and their voices are heard in decisions about their care and support. The post holder may from time to time assist with other parts of the service including promoting Help at Hand and supporting colleagues on visits.
