Paragon are delighted to be working in partnership with Dorset Council to provide domestic abuse specialists for this new and exciting approach to working with families through The Safeguarding Families Together (SFT).

The Safeguarding Families Together Team aims to keep the highest risk children and families in Dorset together safely, improve health and educational outcomes for the children and reduce physical and emotional harm in families.

Safeguarding Families Together team are multi-disciplinary and co-located. The teams are made up of social care practitioners and adult specialists to work with parents in relation to domestic abuse, mental health and substance misuse.

These teams will work together to support families to keep together where it is safe to do so.

The approach is to support families using a technique of motivational interviewing which is designed to empower and engage parents to make the positive changes needed to achieve improved outcomes for their children and their own wellbeing. By meeting the complex needs of the adults, we can reduce the risk to children.

This ground-breaking approach has proved highly successful in other authorities around the country.

You will be part of a team of professionals from different disciplines to join the Safeguarding Families Together team, to work side by side with social workers. By bringing experts together we will achieve better outcomes for children and families in Dorset.

- Domestic Abuse Officer
- Probation Officer
- Probation Service Officer
- Domestic Abuse Practitioner
- Drug & Alcohol Worker
- Psychologist
- Mental Health Practitioner

Some of the main responsibilities of the role are as follows:

- I will be dual located, with my primary work taking place within SFT
- I will remain part of the DVA local team and ensure my DVA knowledge and links to that team are up to date
- I will prepare for and attend specialist supervision with the DVA Operational Manager and SFT team manager
- I will ensure links are maintained between the two agencies
- I will work with victims to identify levels of risk as per structured assessments
- I will identify and deliver effective interventions to increase safety and reduce risk, and, where required broker a package of support with other organisations
- I will provide 1:1 support to enable the client to understand the impact of DVA on themselves, their parenting and their children
- As part of an exit strategy I will work with clients to refer to existing DVA services for community-based programmes such as group work and outreach
