Stalking Advocacy Caseworker at Veritas Justice

We are seeking an Independent Stalking Advocate to join our team. This is a specialist role requiring the ability to understand behaviour over time, respond to evolving risk and support individuals navigating complex and often uncertain situations. The focus of the role is to reduce the impact of stalking on individuals, supporting safety, stability and informed decision-making. Please note that this post is open to women only (genuine occupational requirement: Equality Act 2010 applies).

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
• working with police and multi-agency partners
• supporting individuals to navigate the criminal justice process where appropriate
• managing a caseload in line with organisational policies and procedures

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.

Transferable Skills and Experience

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.

Successful candidates will be required to complete an Enhanced DBS check, police vetting, and provide professional references.

Veritas Justice is committed to the promotion of equality in every aspect of its work, and we welcome diversity in our workforce to represent the local community in which we operate. An appointment will be made solely based on how the applicant meets the personal specification for the job.
