Job description
The Alliance
The Sexual Violence Alliance is comprised of seven organisations (The four London Rape Crisis Centres, Galop, Survivors UK, and Respond) working together to provide comprehensive support to victim/survivors of sexual violence across London.

Navigators sit within each organisation in The Alliance and work alongside one another to support survivors of sexual violence.
The Role

The post holder will ensure a quality service is provided to survivors by covering cases at short notice and providing support for those that are not able to access immediate ISVA support. You will ensure that timely advice is provided to survivors on the waiting list.
This post is only available to applicants from the LGBTQ community as permitted under the Equality Act 2010 as a Genuine Occupational Requirement.
