We are recruiting two Multiple and Complex Needs ISVAs. This is a new role within our growing ISVA service. The ISVA service provides advocacy and support to survivors of sexual violence and abuse, largely linked to the criminal justice process; however, this post may have less of a particular focus on this area.

They will develop partnerships and processes grounded in a better understanding of the access and support needs particular to clients who have multiple and/or complex needs.

As a skilled worker with an understanding of multiple and complex needs, you will have significant experience in working with vulnerable and/or traumatised people, a commitment to working in a client-centred way and a good understanding of self-care.
