Are you collaborative, compassionate and target-driven with a proven record of working with perpetrators or victims of domestic abuse as well as with offenders? Looking for a highly rewarding new career opportunity?

If so, join St Giles Trust as a Domestic Abuse Early Responder, where you will engage with DA Perpetrators in Police Custody as part of the reachable/teachable moment service delivery to discuss their offending behaviour.

About St Giles Trust
An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes, and the right support they need. Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions, and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others.  

About this key role
St Giles Trust and the West Midlands Domestic Abuse Victim Support Service Consortium are partnering to provide DA offender intervention and tailored DA victim support. Our successful candidate will engage with offenders in police custody once they have been identified as being perpetrators of domestic abuse and will have responsibility to build positive relationships and work directly with the offender in custody to promote positive change, build resilience, reduce risks, and prevent further harm through DA offending.

You will produce DA offender risk management plans based on assessments and ensure that the DA perpetrator understands the consequences of their DA offending behaviour and works towards accepting responsibility for their actions and to positively change their behaviour.  We will also count on you to always promote and protect the safety of the victim(s) and families and to collaborate closely with all key stakeholders to ensure that increases in risk of harm are escalated rapidly and a multi-agency plan is in place. Delivering a holistic support service as the situation dictates is also a key element of the role.

What we are looking for:

Several years of professional experience of similar role Experience of completing risk assessments and safeguarding victims, children, and families  Experience of providing support, advice and advocacy and the ability to assess clients’ needs Experience of engaging successfully with challenging people  Experience of working with domestic abuse perpetrators Experience in negotiating with partner agencies to establish links to further the aims of a project Knowledge of risk factors associated with perpetrators of domestic abuse Knowledge of up-to-date housing, criminal, civil and welfare rights legislation relating to domestic abuse Excellent interpersonal, relationship-building and communication skills, both verbal and written.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, season ticket loan and much more.

Please note St Giles will guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria set out in the Job Description for the vacancy.
