Our ideal candidate will have a qualification and experience in the ISVA role as well as a friendly and relational approach to working with clients. You will have the ability to build trusting relationships, work in an empowering and inclusive way and support clients to heal following sexual abuse and develop coping capacity.

You will provide a safe and trauma-informed response to your clients, ensuring that they understand their rights and the options open to them.
You will support clients through the criminal justice system, should they choose that route.
You will signpost clients to additional support from other agencies to ensure that all their identified support needs are met.
