We are currently seeking to appoint a Project Coordinator who will support the management and development of the team to deliver independent professional advocacy to parents with children under the age of 18. This is a fixed term role until 31st March 2025.

The post holder will be responsible for the line management of a team of staff working across Pan Gwent, ensuring that they support the wider plans by Welsh Government of reducing numbers of children entering the care system in Wales. We will work with our partners to promote the project and agree referral pathways. We will ensure that parents and families with emerging needs are supported in a co-productive model of practice.

We are looking for a proactive and dynamic team member to join our NYAS Cymru team, who shares our commitment to innovation and change, whilst remaining faithful to our core values that we hold in NYAS. You will be passionate about the rights of children and parents, have experience of working within a social care environment and believe in the power of advocacy.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early once we receive a high number of applications.

As an established leading rights-based charity, NYAS (National Youth Advocacy Service) is well positioned to ensure that children, young people, and adults across England and Wales are fully respected, represented, and supported in expressing their views and having their rights upheld.

We work with care-experienced children, young people, and adults who are often reliant on statutory services suffering the negative impact of the cuts in public expenditure. Our combination of social care and legal services places us in a unique position to ensure that they receive the services they need and that their voices are heard.
