The Olive Project: Joint role - IDVA and Recovery Worker

Hours: Full time 35 hours
Salary: £25,883 + 3% pension contribution increasing to £28,630 + 3% pension contribution upon six months probation completion and accredited IDVA qualification.
Location: Based in: Truro covering all of Cornwall, including health, community, court and outreach settings.

The postholder will be employed by The Olive Project, which holds responsibility for employment, HR, supervision and professional development.

The Olive Project recognises the intersecting identities BMVS live within and are proud to partner with organisations who acknowledge these lived experiences and are committed to providing holistic, culturally competent and anti-oppressive support.

This role is jointly funded through partnership arrangements within the Safer Futures programme and delivers defined elements of service on behalf of:

• The Safer Futures IDVA Service (lead provider: The Women's Centre Cornwall)
• The Safer Futures Recovery Service (lead provider: Barnardo's)

Both services are delivered through established multi-agency partnerships including Intercom Trust, Konnect Communities, West Cornwall Women's Aid, The Olive Project, Clear and statutory partners.

The leading providers, the host organisation and the service recognises that Black and Minoritised Victims and S urvivors (BMVS) experience additional barriers to disclosure, safety and access to support, i n cluding institutional racism, immigration insecurity, language barriers, cultural stigma, and a justified mistrust of statutory services. This role requires an understanding of these barriers and the ability to provide culturally competent, anti-racist and inclusive advocacy.
