Diversity matters and we value it Brief history and services

The organisation Victim Support developed out of a project begun by members of the National Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders (NACRO) in Bristol in 1972. It found that victims faced serious emotional, practical and financial problems and that no statutory agency was responsible for helping them – so the group decided to do something about it and set up the first local Victim Support group in 1974.

Other local groups were soon set up around the UK and from 1979 worked together under the umbrella of a national association. This changed in 2008 after the member charities voted to create a single charity covering the whole of England & Wales. A six-month merger programme brought together around 1,650 employees and 6,500 volunteers into Victim Support, the new national charity.

We have always been a world leader in the development of victim services, and have inspired the setting up and growth of similar organisations worldwide. We are still independent but work closely with many criminal justice agencies. We get core funding from the government, but we also have to raise funds like any other charity.

Our vision, purpose and values

Our vision is to be the world’s best charity for victims and witnesses. Our purpose is to help people find the strength to move on after crime. Our values are:

 Strong: helping victims and witnesses to find their inner strength  Diverse: understanding that everyone is different and deserves to be valued for who they are  Welcoming: friendly and easy to approach  Straightforward: doing what we say  Excellent: achieving the best results and continuously improving  Ambitious: aiming high and looking to the future

You can find out much more about our vision, purpose and values in our Corporate strategy document for 2011-15.

Our objectives

Our corporate strategy also sets out six clear objectives for the period 2011-15. Full details are in the booklet. But they are:

. Victims and witnesses will know they can always turn to us for help. . We will work with others to help victims and witnesses. . Victim and witnesses will value the excellence of our volunteers and staff. . We will make every penny count as we strengthen our funding base. . Our services will meet local need, drawing on national strength. . We will speak up strongly for victims and witnesses.

Our services

Our services for victims and witnesses are free and confidential. We give information, practical help and emotional support to anyone who has experienced crime, and to their families and friends.

We provide this service to well over a million people every year, whether or not the crime has been reported, working in partnership with criminal justice and other voluntary agencies.

We have a network of local offices across England and Wales that run and co-ordinate our local services. Both employees and trained volunteers are involved in giving support – with volunteers outnumbering staff by over four to one, operating within 4 ‘localities’ (10 regional divisions).

We also run the Witness Service to help people who have to give evidence in a criminal court, as well as their families. This operates in every criminal court in England and Wales, as well as the Courts Martial. We help around 375, 000 in this way each year, before during and after a trial.

Our national telephone service, the Victim Supportline, gives support and information, as well as referring callers to our local teams and to other agencies. It deals with around 12,000 calls a year.

Our National Centre in central London is the administrative, management and leadership hub of Victim Support. A number of the charity’s functions are based here, including national policy development, fundraising, campaigning and liaison with the national media.

As well as providing services, we are a national voice for victims and witnesses. We campaign for greater awareness of the effects of crime and to increase their rights.

We have also pioneered services for victims and witnesses across the country, for example enhanced and more responsive front-line services, new specifications for helping young victims of crime, and enhanced guidelines for domestic violence. In 2010 we set up the world’s first dedicated support service for people bereaved through homicide.

Our Chief Executive is Javed Khan, who joined the organisation in 2010. He reports to a 12-strong, independent Board of Trustees. Our President is HRH the Princess Royal.

Introduction

Victim Support is the independent national charity which helps people cope with crime. Our services are free and available to everyone, whether or not the crime has been reported and regardless of when it happened. We also work to promote and advance the rights of victims and witnesses. To achieve this, we need to make sure that Victim Support puts non-discriminatory practices into effect in both employment and service delivery.

The following statement of policy is for use by all employees and volunteers working within Victim Support.

Equal opportunities statement

Victim Support is an equal opportunities employer. Our policy is to ensure that no victim, witness, employee, volunteer, trustee, or job applicant receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of ethnicity, religion/faith, age, gender/gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation or disability, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown as justifiable. Selection criteria and procedures are regularly reviewed to make sure that individuals are selected and treated on the basis of their relevant merits and abilities. Employees will be given equal opportunity and, where appropriate, special training, to enable them to progress within the organisation.

Victim Support’s National Diversity Council is committed to a programme of action to make this policy effective and will bring it to the attention of all employees.

Diversity statement

Victim Support takes pride in being a diverse organisation, enriched by the participation of all individuals and communities. We recognise that prejudice and discrimination continue to result in unfair treatment for many people. We are committed to addressing this by:

 ensuring the effectiveness of our Equality and Diversity policy  being clear and open about our values and promoting them  listening, learning and taking action to bring about change.

Our diversity statement is “Diversity matters and we value it” Job description

We have included the following information to assist you in completing your application form and to explain the process we will use to select the most suitable person for the post.

1. Completing the application form

Please complete the application form in either black ink or typescript and complete each section as fully as possible. Please remember that we will only consider the information that you write in your application form.

When completing section 6 (‘Experience and abilities – shortlisting criteria’) please note that it is not sufficient to say that you have the relevant experience, skill or ability – you need to give specific examples of how you meet each of the requirements, for example describe a situation where you have used the required skills. It is important that you are explicit about your experience and skills because, as an equal opportunities employer, we cannot make assumptions.

If you require the application form in a different format, please contact us.

You should disclose any other information you consider relevant to your application, such as why you believe you are suitable for the post, in section 7 (‘Supporting statement’).

Please do not include your CV with your application, unless specifically requested. Detail all relevant information in the application form.

2. Monitoring form

Victim Support is fully committed to the principles of equality and diversity and continuously strives to be anti-discriminatory in all areas. We need, therefore, to make sure that we adhere to our equality and diversity policy and so we monitor our recruitment processes.

Candidates are asked to complete this section, but this will be removed from the application form before shortlisting takes place and will not be seen by the selection panel. Because we have to remove this form from the rest of the application, please ensure that you leave a blank page between the end of your application and the start of the monitoring form.

3. Disability

The question of disability in the monitoring form is defined as under the Equality Act, ie ‘someone who has a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities’.

Disability also includes non visible disabilities such as dyslexia and diabetes.

Victim Support will endeavour to ensure people with disabilities who meet the standard for shortlisting criteria will be guaranteed an interview.

If successful in the post, and you declare a disability, we will ask you to complete a ‘reasonable adjustment’ form in order that any required adjustments can be addressed. 4. Returning the application form

Please make sure that the application form is fully completed and return it preferably by email to [email protected] or mark it ‘Confidential’ and post it to:

Claire Asbury, HR Team North Victim Support 8 – 10 Waltons Parade Preston PR1 8QT

Please make sure that we receive the application form by 12 noon on the closing date, unless we have indicated otherwise in the application pack. We will not consider any late applications.

5. Shortlisting

There are usually at least two people on the selection panel and they will consider your application form objectively. They will assess whether you have addressed the shortlisting criteria detailed in the person specification and in section 6 of the application form, and whether you have provided sufficient evidence.

The selection panel will shortlist the candidates who have best demonstrated that they meet the requirements. Please remember that the selection panel cannot make assumptions about what is written in your application form, so be explicit about how you meet the criteria.

6. Interview

If you are successful at the shortlisting stage, we will invite you to attend an interview, which will last around 45 minutes. There will usually be at least two people on the panel and they will ask you a set of structured questions.

7. Other selection methods

Depending upon the post, we may use other selection methods in addition to the interview. These are often very specific to the post and are likely to involve completing a task which would be carried out in the role, such as a written exercise. We may also ask you to make a presentation to the panel. If you have difficulties carrying out an assessment due to a disability, please contact us so we can find an appropriate way to assess your suitability for the role.

8. References

We will only request references for candidates who have been successful following interview. The reference details that you give in your application form need to include your current or most recent employer and another work (paid or unpaid) or educational reference. Personal references from friends or family will not be accepted. All offers of employment will be subject to two references which are satisfactory to Vicitim Support.

9. Criminal records

Some posts within Victim Support are exempt from some provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 because they involve carrying out activity with regular, unsupervised contact with vulnerable adults or children, or access to sensitive information. In these cases, Victim Support is entitled to ask for details of spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings.

If you are successful in being appointed to one of these posts, we will ask you to complete a form for the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and any offer of employment will be subject to a satisfactory DBS check in these circumstances.

A criminal record will not necessarily prevent you being employed by Victim Support and we will consider each case individually. Full copies of our policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders and our secure handling policy with regards to DBS checks are available upon request.

10. Migrant Workers

Victim Support does not hold a license to sponsor Migrant Workers (workers from outside of the EU who do not have proof of right to work in the UK). We are not therefore able to accept applications for employment from any worker who does not have the required proof of right to work. Victim Support may however consider sponsoring a migrant worker in exceptional circumstances, for example where the candidate has the skills and experience that Victim Support is looking for or where the skill requirements of a particular role mean that we are unlikely to be able to recruit successfully without access to a wider candidate pool.

11. Successful candidates

If you are successful, we will usually telephone you to offer you the post verbally. We will also send you a formal written offer and this will be subject to pre-employment checks which are satisfactory to us.

12. Unsuccessful candidates

Although we would like to inform all candidates whether they have been successful or not at the shortlisting stage, as a charity we are mindful of the costs involved. Therefore, if you have not been contacted within four weeks of the closing date, you should take it that you have not been shortlisted on this occasion. We will however, contact all unsuccessful candidates by telephone or in writing after the interview.

13. Feedback

If you have been unsuccessful at interview and would like feedback, you can request this from the selection panel. Please contact the recruiting office involved.

14. Data protection

We will treat your application in the strictest confidence. We will keep the information we collect through the recruitment process for unsuccessful applicants/candidates on file for six months, following which it will be destroyed. If you are successful, we will keep relevant information on your HR file.

We hope that you are successful in your application. However, if you are not, please do not be discouraged from applying for other posts in the organisation. Thank you for your interest in Victim Support.

Application for employment This page will be detached from the Confidential rest of the form prior to shortlisting.
