**The Role**

Paragon is the Hidden Violence and Abuse Service covering Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. This innovative and exciting service works with victims of domestic abuse, stalking, sexual crime and children and young people. Our services aim to support the whole family where we are able.

Paragon Domestic Abuse Workers are part of a team providing practical and emotional support to individuals and families experiencing domestic abuse. As a Domestic Abuse Worker you will work with individuals, parents and others to develop and deliver a range of effective interventions and with partners to ensure a whole family approach, where indicated. This may be via proactive "in-reach" support to people living in refuge and outreach, move on and resettlement support, providing a flexible, trauma informed, client centred risk led service.

**About You**:
You will co-produce full risk assessments with the client and ensure their needs and circumstances are reflected within all safety and support plans, carrying out property surveys and safety planning where identified

You will provide 1:1 support to enable the client to understand the impact of DVA

You will work with parents to improve their parenting capacity, increase health and wellbeing, develop strengths, confidence and abilities of all family members to support living their life in a positive and safe way

You will work closely with other professionals and local community groups and be the named contact for the family

Workers should be violence and abuse free in their own lives, if this is not the case then please do not put yourself forward for selection

YOU has a strong value base, striving to be person-centred, innovative, trustworthy, can-do and excellent at all times, so it is important that you are as passionate about these principles as we are.

We are a disability confident employer.
