- Develop and maintain effective working relationships, and promote effective communication between staff and other stakeholders.

You will need:

- Experience of undertaking risk and needs assessments with vulnerable individuals
- To be highly organised and have experience in managing a caseload efficiently
- The ability to communicate sensitively and effectively both verbally and in writing with a wide range of people
- The ability to work without direct supervision, prioritise work and deal with competing or conflicting demands, needs and interests in an organised and methodical manner
- Sound IT experience, with the ability to use a range of software particularly Word & Excel, databases and Case Management systems.
- To uphold and promote the values of Victim Support and treat colleagues and service users in a fair and non-discriminatory way
