Coventry, United Kingdom Red Snapper Recruitment Limited Full time

Red Snapper Recruitment are urgently hiring a part-time permanent IDVA.

Role: Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA)

Location: Coventry

Salary: £12.82 per hour

Hours: 30 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with occasional weekend availability

The successful candidate will need to have experience or qualifications in domestic abuse support, a strong understanding of the dynamics of domestic abuse, and excellent advocacy and risk management skills.

Purpose of the Post

The purpose of this role is to provide a high quality frontline domestic abuse support service to those at high risk of harm. IDVAs support victims of domestic abuse to assess level of risk, inform victims of their options and develop tailored safety plans to protect the victim and their children. They work within a multi-agency framework to advocate for the victim, including responding and reporting to Multi-agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARAC) on behalf of the victim.

The role supports the empowerment of victims/survivors, assisting them to recognise the dynamics of domestic abuse present in their own situation through one to one support and group work, to help them regain control of their lives.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

* Focus on and prioritise high risk cases and provide pro-active, short to medium term crisis interventions to increase their personal safety (and that of any children) and inform them of their rights and options in terms of housing, legal and welfare rights.

* Provide direct casework support, advice, information and empowerment to individuals experiencing DVA through telephone contact and face to face meetings.

* Identify and assess the risks and needs of domestic abuse victims using an evidence-based risk identification checklist.

* Attend criminal and civil court with clients when required, so that they feel supported and are aware of the process.

* Prepare reports to feed into MARAC and other operational safeguarding forums. Attendance to present cases at MARAC may be required on an ad hoc basis.

* Ensure that any issues in relation to safeguarding children or vulnerable adults are brought to the immediate attention of the Senior IDVA/manager.

Person Specification

* You must have empathy, compassion, excellent interpersonal and caseload management skills, a client-centred approach and proactive crisis intervention.

* IDVA qualification and/or direct experience of working in domestic/sexual violence.

* Qualification or training equivalent to minimum level 3 education standard in a relevant topic, such as health and social care.

* Experience of working with vulnerable adults and children, acknowledging safeguarding concerns and responding appropriately.

* Experience of managing complex casework, including issues such as child abuse, mental health, substance abuse, working with trauma in adults and children and crisis intervention.

* Full driving license with willingness to use own vehicle.

* DBS check to be undertaken.
