Cheshire West and Chester Council is a place where everyone can Thrive - through our core values of Teamwork, Honesty, Respect, Innovation, Value for Money and Empowerment.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA) to join the Domestic Abuse Team at Cheshire West and Chester Council

We have a mixture of permanent posts and temporary IDVA post on a fixed term contract until March 2025. These posts will cover all aspects of the work including duty, case management and community intervention.

Our vision is for all residents of west Cheshire to live lives free from domestic abuse. We want to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and their families who experience domestic abuse, by creating an environment that supports disclosure and recovery for those who are harmed and provides challenge and support for those who harm. This vision underpins our Domestic Abuse Strategy

If you are passionate about helping people and improving their lives, then this this could be the perfect role for you.

If you want to be part of a fast-paced close-knit team that supports each other to drive forward improved outcomes working with some of our most vulnerable residents, then we want to hear from you

Our IDVA’s are crucial to the delivery of high-quality services to those harmed by domestic abuse. You will need to be a great team player and be used to responding quickly to high risk and the needs of service users.

Experience in a similar role or experience in providing support to vulnerable people would be preferable but is not essential.

A formal qualification such as IDVA/ISVA is preferable but not essential as full training will be provided.

Further information is contained in the job description, and you can contact Paul Roberts, Team Manager on 0300 123 7047 option 2. for an informal discussion about the role.

This is a hybrid role which means that time will be spent working at home, working in the community with clients, and working from the office base at Wyvern House in Winsford, however, the team works across the whole of the Cheshire West and Chester area and adopts a flexible and mobile approach to working.

For further information about the role, please contact Paul Roberts - 0300 123 7047 (option 2).

Cheshire West and Chester Council are committed to equality and diversity in employment. Please see the Equality Policy for more information.
