�25/hr
Start date: ASAP
AKTON Recruitment is working closely with the local authorities and we are looking for a Domestic Abuse Navigator in the Camden.
About the role
We know that some domestic abuse victims and survivors in Camden need ongoing and additional support, once risk has been reduced and safety has been achieved. We know that the experience of VAWG intersects with severe disadvantage, increasing survivor's vulnerability and posing additional barriers to recovery. Our model is predicated on assertive outreach, a trauma-informed approach, flexible 1-1 and group support which helps victims and survivors receive the support they need. Building on successful programmes, the VAWG Navigator team will be based in the community and will work at an individual survivor's pace delivering high quality interventions along the continuum of need that enables greater safety in their accommodation or alleviates homelessness, improves engagement and recovery. The team will develop a strong constant relationship with survivors, working with a small case load to provide a person-centred offer, which promotes positive change; and coordinate the involvement of relevant agencies that can support the client
