About the Role

As Victims' Champion you will support victims and survivors affected by the implementation of the Early Release Scheme (ERS) and changes to prison release arrangements. The role will ensure victim-survivors feel informed, reassured and supported whilst enabling them to make informed decisions about their safety and recovery. This includes helping individuals understand what these changes mean for them, the safeguards that remain in place and how they can access information and support through the Victim Contact Scheme and wider criminal justice partners.

As (ERS) Victims' Champion you will work provide specialist advocacy, information, emotional support, and practical assistance to victim-survivors affected by changes to prison release arrangements under the Early Release Scheme.

You will manage a caseload of victim-survivors whose sense of safety, wellbeing, or confidence may be impacted by changes to offender release arrangements. You will ensure individuals receive timely, accurate, trauma-informed information and support, enabling them to understand the criminal justice process, exercise their rights, and make informed decisions about their safety and wellbeing.

The role requires a highly trauma-informed, person-centred, and solution-focused approach. You will conduct holistic needs and risk assessments, develop comprehensive safety and support plans, coordinate practical interventions, and identify opportunities to strengthen protective measures, including target hardening, personal safety planning, civil and protective orders, and safeguarding interventions.

You will work collaboratively with local victim services to complement existing provision and ensure victim-survivors can access appropriate specialist support. This may include assistance with housing issues, family court processes, school liaison, domestic abuse safety planning, emotional support, security improvements, and advocacy where risks have escalated following changes in release arrangements.
