💜 Could your safeguarding experience help transform the response to domestic abuse within Devon Children’s Social Care?
NDADA is recruiting for two exciting IDVA (Independent Domestic Violence Adviser) roles, working alongside Devon Children’s Services to improve safety and outcomes for adult victims of domestic abuse and their children.
📍 Children and Families Assessment Team IDVA
This role can be based anywhere in Devon, with hybrid working available.
📍 Front Door IDVA
This role will be based within the Front Door in Exeter, helping to ensure families affected by domestic abuse receive specialist support from the earliest point of contact. Hybrid working is also available.
These are fantastic opportunities for people with a safeguarding background who want to use their experience in a specialist role where they can influence decision making, advocate for victims and their children, and help professionals develop informed and trauma responsive approaches to domestic abuse.
Your experience may come from social care, education, health, housing, early help, family support, criminal justice or the voluntary sector. If you can build trusted relationships, work confidently with other professionals and keep the safety and voice of victims at the centre of your practice, we would love to hear from you.
