Job description

We are looking for a proactive and compassionate Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) to support male victims and survivors of domestic abuse. This role is full-time and is based at the Victim Support office in Old Street with some opportunity for home working.

What we offer

At Victim Support, we are committed to attracting and retaining the best talent. Our competitive rewards and benefits package includes:

  • Flexible Working Options: Including hybrid working.
  • Generous Annual Leave: 28 days plus Bank Holidays, increasing to 33 days plus Bank Holidays, with options to buy or sell annual leave.
  • Birthday Leave: An extra day off for your birthday.
  • Pension Plan: 5% employer contribution.
  • Enhanced Allowances: Enhanced sick pay, maternity, and paternity payments.
  • Exclusive Discounts: High Street, retail, holiday, gym, entertainment, and leisure discounts.
  • Financial Wellbeing: Access to our financial wellbeing hub and salary-deducted finance.
  • Wellbeing Support: Employee assistance programme and wellbeing support.
  • Inclusive Networks: Access to EDI networks and colleague cafes.
  • Sustainable Travel: Cycle to work scheme and season ticket loans.
  • Career Development: Ongoing training and support with opportunities for career progression.


About the Role

As an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate you will provide pro-active, high quality, frontline service to male victims of domestic abuse through on-going risk assessment, providing individual safety planning, trauma-informed support, guidance, information, and advocacy and enabling victim/survivors to access the services they need in the aftermath of the abuse and trauma they have experienced.

You may make initial contact with victims of crime, explaining our services and assessing the impact of crime, or receive referrals from colleagues, in order to provide on-going support and case management. You will work within a multi-agency framework consisting of the MARAC and multi agency partners when required. This role requires a specialist understanding of the barriers faced by male victims of domestic abuse and harmful practices.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assess risks and needs using evidence-based checklists.
  • Focus on high-risk cases with short to medium-term crisis intervention.
  • Assist high-risk victims in accessing safety services.
  • Deliver tailored support and information.
  • Understand legal frameworks for protecting children and vulnerable adults.
  • Provide advocacy on legal, housing, health, and financial options.
  • Empower clients to recognize domestic abuse dynamics.
  • Participate in Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARAC).
  • Work with a team to deliver respectful, dignified, and sensitive services.
  • Maintain accurate and confidential case records.
  • Comply with data protection laws and organizational policies.
  • Stay updated with procedures, policies, and professional codes.


About You:

Ideally, you will have knowledge about legal remedies for domestic abuse victims and have experience working with drug, alcohol, and mental health issues. An understanding of benefits, housing, and homelessness would also be beneficial.

You will need:

  • Strong understanding of domestic abuse and its impact.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in English, both verbally and in writing.
  • Experience in statutory, voluntary, or multi-agency settings.
  • Competency in risk and needs assessment frameworks.
  • Understanding of safeguarding issues.
  • Direct service delivery experience to victims or vulnerable people.
  • Ability to manage complex caseloads and prioritize work.
  • Strong crisis management skills.
  • Effective communication, negotiation, and advisory skills.
  • Commitment to equal opportunities and diversity.


Please note that we are committed to provide support where victims can choose to be supported by someone of their own gender and so this post is open to male applicants only as being male is deemed to be a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

About Us:

Victim Support is an independent charity dedicated to supporting people affected by crime and traumatic incidents in England and Wales. We put them at the heart of our organisation and our support and campaigns are informed and shaped by them and their experiences.

Victim Support are committed to recruiting with care and to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Background checks and Disclosed Barring Service checks may be required.

At Victim Support, we're proud to celebrate diversity and create a workplace where everyone feels they belong. We're committed to being an antiracist organisation, and we actively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including those from Black and Asian and other minoritised communities.

As a Disability Confident Employer, we will offer an interview to disabled candidates who meet all essential criteria for a job where it is practicable to do so. We are also happy to make reasonable adjustments during the recruitment and selection process.

How to apply:

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early, if we receive enough suitable applications to take forward to interview prior to the published closing date. If you have already registered & started an application, then we will contact you to advise of the amended closing date wherever possible.
