Independent Sexual Violence Advisor; ISVA

At We Are Survivors, every role exists for one reason: to support male survivors of sexual harms and the people who stand alongside them. While each position has a different focus, they all contribute to helping survivors feel safer, more connected, and better able to move forward in their lives.

The ISVA supports male survivors throughout the criminal justice process, from making an initial report through to the conclusion of any investigation or court proceedings. Alongside providing specialist advocacy within the criminal justice system, the role ensures survivors understand their options, have their voices heard, and receive consistent emotional and practical support throughout their journey. The ISVA also works holistically, recognising that recovery extends beyond the legal process and helping survivors access the wider support they need.

We are particularly keen to hear from men who want to support other men through the criminal justice process. The role would be suited to someone who is comfortable working with trauma and has experience in mental health, support, or community engagement. We welcome candidates who have worked with men, sexual harms, and their loved ones, but we also recognise that great people bring transferable skills and different experiences.

If you are committed to learning, building trusting relationships, and making a meaningful difference, we would love to hear from you.

At We Are Survivors, our values shape how we work every day. Transparency underpins our relationships, creating the openness that abuse so often takes away. Integrity is at the heart of everything we do, recognising that trust is fundamental to healing. Understanding means we take every survivor and their experiences seriously, meeting people without judgment and with genuine compassion. Being Responsive means we are committed not only to supporting survivors today, but also to predicting, educating, and preventing sexual harm against boys and men in the future.
