  * Provide practical, emotional and advocacy support, including safety planning and guidance on civil and criminal justice options.

  * Keep victims/survivors at the heart of everything you do by keeping them informed, connecting them to relevant services, and delivering flexible, accessible support in safe environments.

Who you are:

  * A good level of education including GCSE English and maths, or equivalent.

  * Evidence of self-development or formal learning and development in sector skills.

  * Demonstrable experience directly supporting adults who have experienced domestic abuse or who have other complex needs.

  * A formal qualification, such as IDVA, or the willingness to complete this.
