• Provide practical, emotional and advocacy support that empowers victims of abuse and empowers them to overcome their current situation. You'll focus on safety planning, practical safety measures and the use of civil and criminal justice systems to increase protection.
• Work in partnership, where relevant/appropriate, with the perpetrator intervention service, making sure all necessary processes are carried out to maintain the safety of the victim/survivor.
• Keep victims/survivors at the heart of everything you do and keep them informed. Provide access to services and support organisations to help them achieve their goals.
• Deliver support in locations that are safe, accessible and flexible to the needs of the victim/survivor and the service.

• A good level of education including GCSE English and maths, or equivalent.
• Substantial experience of directly supporting adults who have experienced domestic abuse or who have other complex needs.
• A formal qualification, such as a recognised IDVA qualification, or the willingness to complete this.
• A good understanding of domestic abuse, including the impact on those affected by it and the legal and practical remedies available to them.
• An understanding of safeguarding issues and procedures and legislation relating to domestic violence.
