Your new role
Your new role will be to work as a part of an advisory team that provides a high-quality frontline domestic abuse support service to those at high risk of harm. The Independent Domestic Violence Advisors support victims of domestic abuse to assess the level of risk, inform victims of their options and develop tailored safety plans to protect the victim and their children.
