Children and Young Person s Independent Sexual violence Advocate

Do you want a rewarding and influential role where your success directly contributes to the protection and growth of support services for sexually abused children and adults?

This is an amazing opportunity to join the organisation at an exciting time to ensure it can maintain a recent period of growth and continue to support survivors through specialist services.

Stand with survivors and challenge victim-blaming attitudes.

Position: Children and Young Person s Independent Sexual violence Advocate (ISVA)

Location: Birmingham/hybrid

Hours: Full and part-time opportunities available. 19 or 30 hours per week, with 1 home working day or 38 hours per week with 2 home working days.

Salary: Untrained ISVA: £29,777 pro rata, accredited ISVA: £31,365 pro rata

Contract: Permanent

Closing Date: 5th June, 6pm. However, shortlisting will be taking place on a rolling basis so we advise applying as early as possible.

The Role

You will provide support as an ISVA for children and young people (CYP). You will offer compassionate, confidential, support to CYP of all genders, who have been subjected to sexual violence and abuse. Some of the work will be providing specialised wrap around support to children and their families where the child has been, or is currently being sexually exploited (CSE support). You will provide information about reporting processes; support CYP who have reported to the police; provide emotional support to CYP when they give their evidence in court and provide information about other options, such as civil action and Criminal Injuries Compensation.

An approved and accredited ISVA qualification is preferable for this post, and will start at the accredited salary rate. However, candidates who demonstrate and live the organisations values (bold-believing-big hearted), and have a willingness to work towards ISVA accreditation will also be considered.

About You

Ideally, you will have previous or current experience within a specialist rape and sexual abuse organisation, supporting children and young people s (CYP) victims/survivors of sexual violence and abuse.

You will also have experience of:

  • Supporting 13-16 year olds, a group at high risk of sexual violence, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and sexual coercion.
  • The impacts of sexual violence and abuse
  • Working pro-actively, and advocating for adult survivor voices and needs
  • Working with a range of agencies
  • Child safeguarding issues, child sexual exploitation (CSE), legislation and best practice
  • Understanding of the need and ability to maintain professional notes and records of their interactions and interventions with clients

DON'T FORGET that where you are asked for details of relevant experience, it doesn't just mean paid work. You can back up your statements with examples of what you have done in the past either at home, school or college, in paid work or unpaid work, or as a hobby.
