With over 25 years’ experience of providing support to men, women and children who are survivors of domestic abuse & sexual violence in the Bradford area, we put our clients at the heart of what we do and are continually striving to make the survivors experience the very best it can be whilst accessing our services.
Our team of committed and dedicated colleagues work with passion and integrity to deliver a holistic package of integrated support in our fast-changing environment. Due to securing a new contract and internal movements, we have some exciting opportunities available.
Young Person's IDVA
Our Young Person’s IDVA role sits within the Community Services Team and works in close partnership with the Youth Service. We are looking for a Young Person’s IDVA for a maternity cover.
About The Role
The aim of this role is to provide specialist, trauma-informed advocacy and support to young people (aged 13-17) who have been through the MARAC process and not received ongoing support following an assessment by Children’s Social Care.
The Young Person’s IDVA will work directly with the young person as the primary client, ensuring their voice is central to safety planning, decision-making and multi-agency responses.
Often the role will work with the non-abusive parent to safeguard the young person and coordinate a holistic support package. The role will provide a front-line service to young people through a pathway of care focussing on safety and protection across all levels of risk.
