It’s all about making a difference.
We are looking for a Young People’s IDVA* to join our team. When individuals and families experience domestic violence and abuse they can feel frightened & isolated and unsure of options available to keep themselves safe. For young people, it can prevent access to the support and services they need.
The Young People’s IDVA supports the most vulnerable and high-risk victim-survivors aged 16 -25 and works to increase knowledge to front line staff of young victim-survivors, helping to break down barriers for the individual whilst working to improve the processes and pathways for future service users.
