Candidates are expected to commence employment as soon as possible following the expiry of their notice period. Requests for significantly later start dates may not be accommodated.

Job description

Draft well written communications to victims of crime, addressing all relevant issues in plain English without the use of jargon. Correspond with victims within the prescribed timescales.
Manage own case load, ensuring that victims entitled to an enhanced service are appropriately prioritised.
Brief staff leading meetings with victims to ensure that they are fully aware of all relevant issues enabling effective engagement.
To attend meetings with victims and capture notes of the meeting where applicable.
To support the needs of the victim, the VLO will communicate sensitively, effectively and without jargon, to respond to victims queries, making sure each caller has the information they need. The VLO will answer telephone calls and respond to contact within a reasonable timeframe, and if the VLO is unable to help the caller, they will signpost them to an appropriate contact point.
