The post is for an Intervention Officer which is essentially an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) post working with residents in the Local Authority aged 16+ experiencing DV.
This is NOT an adults social care or children's social care post but will work across both services. Ideal candidate will be a qualified Independent Domestic Violence Advocate or will have worked for at least 2 years in the last 5 years in a domestic abuse advocacy role.
You will be expected to be able to build rapport and establish a respectful, honest and supportive relationship with victims / survivors of domestic abuse and work within the community to promote the safety and well-being of those we work with. You will be part of a team that provides duty advice and information to those who self-refer and to various professionals. Within this role you may complete home or community visits with or without other professionals (only where safe to do so)
