What You Will Be Doing

As an independent stalking advocacy caseworker at Veritas Justice, you will be:

• providing specialist advocacy to individuals experiencing stalking
• identifying patterns of behaviour, including repetition and escalation where present
• supporting safety planning and risk management

About You

We are looking for someone who can:

• work with complexity and uncertainty
• demonstrate strong professional judgement
• provide support in emotionally challenging situations while maintaining clear professional boundaries
• remain calm and focused when working with distress and risk
• work independently and collaboratively within a multi-agency context

Experience in advocacy, safeguarding or a related role is essential.

An understanding of stalking, or a willingness to develop specialist knowledge in stalking, is essential to the role.

We recognise that relevant skills may have been developed in a range of roles and settings.

We welcome applications from individuals with transferable experience, including:

• advocacy, support work or safeguarding roles
• working with individuals experiencing distress, risk or vulnerability
• roles involving complex decision-making or case management
• experience of working within multi-agency or professional environments

We are particularly interested in how applicants apply their skills in practice, rather than specific job titles.
