EViE (Ending Violence in Essex) is an ambitious partnership of three domestic abuse support charities who have each operated in Essex for over forty years. As of 1 April 2019, The Next Chapter, SOS Domestic Abuse Projects and Changing Pathways will be responsible for part of the delivery of high risk, community and accommodation based support  services for survivors of domestic abuse as part of the recently commissioned Essex Integrated Domestic Abuse Services (EIDAS) contract.                                                                                  

Following this contract award, they have opportunities for highly motivated and empathetic individuals to fulfill roles in both North and South Essex supporting survivors of domestic abuse. The roles available are:

• IDVA (Independent Domestic Violence Advisor) based in either North or South Essex (£21,635-£24,313)

• Community DAP (Domestic Abuse Practitioner) based in either North and South Essex (£21,635-£22,848)

• Team Leader positions in either North or South Essex (£25,969-£27,905, dependent upon role)

As a partnership, their approach to supporting survivors of this devastating crime is holistic; assisting the survivor to address their immediate safety needs whilst setting them on a pathway to recovery from their traumatic experiences; more positive outcomes in their lives and the lives of their children; and a sustained exit from domestic abuse.

This is an exciting opportunity for individuals who are committed to helping survivors to break the cycle of domestic abuse and support their recovery.
