Our Complaints Advocates are key to enabling people to complain in a way that best meets their communication needs, providing advice and support.

You will answer questions about the process and explain options providing a step-by-step guide to the process and offer tips.

The ability to speak Welsh is essential to provide support to complainants wishing to make their complaints through the medium of Welsh.

You will also need to be able to travel.

Everyone at Llais believes people and communities in Wales should lead happy, healthy lives where they get the health and social care they need in a way that works best for them.

We support people who want to make a complaint about the health and/or social care they have received. Complaints advocacy is a really important part of our work as complaints can be a powerful catalyst for improvement.

That is where you come in! Are you looking for the opportunity to join a new, passionate organisation, and contribute to the improvement of health and social care services here in Wales?
