For nearly 50 years, nia has provided high quality, women-led services across North and East London. nia has three main aims: to provide services for women, children and young people who have experienced male violence, working to end men’s violence against women and girls, and to inform and influence policy and public awareness.
nia’s values, and our commitment to upholding them, set us apart. We put women first – always and without hesitation: we believe women, we are run by women, for women. We leave no woman behind: we challenge inequality and discrimination and believe that uniting women of all backgrounds is essential to ending the sex-based oppression of women.
nia is delighted to have been awarded funding to develop a new ISVA service in Brent, supporting victim-survivors both inside and outside of the criminal justice system. The ISVA will provide ongoing continuity, advocacy, and information to victim-survivors of sexual violence. She will work with our wider Rape Crisis team and the Brent Exiting Prostitution Service.
We are seeking to recruit to the following post:
Job Title: Senior Independent Sexual Violence Advocate (Brent)
Job Ref: nia 182
Hours: 35 hours per week
Salary: £30,000 – £34,000 (£30,000 – £31,000 if unqualified) dependent on experience and qualification
Location: Hybrid model of home, co-location and office working
The post is currently funded until March 2025 with the likelihood of extension.
The Senior ISVA will be the only ISVA working within this project and will be responsible for generating and processing incoming referrals. She will provide advocacy and support to victim-survivors of sexual violence in addition to delivering professionals training and awareness raising sessions in Brent. This post will involve hybrid working as a mixture of working from nia’s head office in Islington, regular travel to and co-location within Brent and some home working.
We’re looking for a highly organised and self-motivated woman who is passionate about ending violence against women. You’ll have a ‘can-do’ approach and demonstrable commitment to nia’s feminist approach to supporting women and girls.
