LGBT+ IDVA

Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA)




We are looking for a passionate and skilled Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) to join our team, supporting LGBT+ survivors of domestic abuse and violence. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives by providing trauma-informed, empowerment-based, and person-centred support.

About the Role

As an IDVA, you will work directly with LGBT+ survivors across London, helping them to feel supported, heard, and empowered in the face of domestic abuse and violence. You will:

• Provide practical and emotional support to survivors, tailored to their needs.
• Act as a trusted point of contact, advocating on behalf of clients with agencies and services.
• Build strong partnerships with statutory and voluntary organisations to ensure survivors receive joined-up, holistic care.
• Maintain accurate records, contribute to monitoring and evaluation, and support the development of inclusive, survivor-led services.

About You

We're looking for someone who is empathetic, resilient, and committed to supporting LGBT+ survivors. You'll bring:

• Experience of supporting survivors of domestic violence (paid or voluntary).
• A strong understanding of the experiences and barriers faced by LGBT+ people.
• Knowledge of safeguarding best practice for children and adults at risk.
• The ability to manage a caseload, prioritise under pressure, and maintain professional boundaries.
• A collaborative and solutions-focused approach.
• Commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion.

A relevant qualification (e.g. ISVA, IDVA) would be beneficial but is not essential. We welcome applications from people with transferable skills and lived experience.

What We Offer

• A supportive, inclusive workplace where diversity is celebrated.
• Hybrid working (home and London office).
• Full-time hours: 35 per week.
• Ongoing training, supervision, and professional development.

If you are committed to empowering survivors of domestic violence and want to help create safer futures for LGBT+ communities, we'd love to hear from you.
