Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for an Independent Domestic and Sexual Violence Advocate to play a pivotal role in our Domestic and Sexual Violence Support Service in Newham
Sounds great, what will I be doing?
The Alessia Project is a commissioned independent service based in Newham, supporting individuals aged 16+ who sell sex and/or experience sexual exploitation. Working within a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and person-centred framework, the service empowers individuals to make informed choices about their lives while accessing tailored support. Through strong multi-agency partnerships, service users are supported with a range of needs including housing, finances, health, emotional wellbeing, therapy, and safeguarding. The project prioritises autonomy and empowerment, while recognising and responding to the vulnerabilities, risks, and exploitation that can be associated with survival sex work.
As an Independent Domestic and Sexual Violence Advocate (IDSVA), the role involves providing specialist advocacy and high-quality support to sex workers and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. Key responsibilities include conducting risk assessments and safety planning, managing a caseload of high-risk clients, representing victims at MARAC, making safeguarding referrals, delivering outreach and drop-in support, and working collaboratively with police, health, housing, and community organisations. Using a strengths-based and harm-reduction approach, the IDSVA supports individuals to increase their safety, confidence, independence, and overall quality of life while ensuring their voice remains central to all aspects of support and decision-making.

Candidates should have experience of providing practical and emotional support to survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, and other forms of gender-based violence, using a trauma-informed and person-centred approach.
