HORIZON EXPANDER!

Citizen Advocacy
Logo for Citizen Advocacy

There are so many wonderful things to do in Perth. It could be as simple as taking a walk along our beautiful coastline, or through the bush. There is also an exciting choice of entertainment or exhibitions, many of which are free.

Some individuals with intellectual disability are unaware of the range of activities available, or are unable to attend on their own. As a citizen advocate, you could open up their world! Social inclusion and emotional support are just some of the benefits. Whilst spending time together sharing pleasurable activities, a citizen advocate is well placed to monitor the general wellbeing of the person they have been introduced to. This might include checking their mail, helping them achieve their goals, assisting them to make choices or speaking up for them if required.

Every role is unique. A careful match is made between the time availability, interests and resources of the advocate with the circumstances of the person with disability. The office makes sure it’s right for you because it is hoped that these matches are long lasting. We all need someone in our lives who is not paid to be there. Could it be you?

Due to the intended long term nature of our positions, we are unable to recruit to provide for course credits or Centrelink requirements.

You can not apply for this role as it is no longer available.
