Enhanced Safeguarding Coordinator for Domestic Abuse

4 weeks ago


Truro, United Kingdom Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Cornwall Foundation Trust and the Royal Cornwall Trust are committed to tackling all forms of domestic abuse and sexual abuse, affecting people across their lifespan, and promoting a ‘Think Family’ approach. The Safeguarding team is an established team of professionals, who have strong partnership working with Operational teams, Local Authority, and multi-agency bodies, to ensure that we meet the statutory responsibilities whilst delivering safe and effective care to vulnerable individuals and families.

The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 promotes an integrated healthcare response to domestic abuse, and a systematic approach to transforming the health sector’s response to domestic abuse. This includes partnership working across health and specialist services and a designated domestic Abuse Coordinator based in acute health settings.

**Proposed interview date**: TBC

This role focuses on the operational delivery of the Domestic Abuse service and will demonstrate advanced skills and competencies to influence the pathways of care in the safeguarding of victim/survivors of domestic abuse, their children and families. It will also take a preventative approach and focus on pathways and support for perpetrators of domestic abuse. This post will initiate and add to research evidence in the field of Domestic abuse to ensure that evidence-based practice is inherent in all aspects of care.

In response to the Domestic Abuse Act legislation, RCHT and CFT will implement a Domestic Abuse improvement plan which incorporates improvements in six overarching areas relating to domestic abuse. The domestic abuse coordinator will support management to promote developments in the following areas to ensure that operational teams are equipped and able to plan and deliver safe care in all domestic abuse cases.
- Partnership working, Co-ordination and Community response.
- Legislation, Policy, and Procedure
- Training, Education and Resource Development
- Think Family approach in Domestic Abuse
- Staff knowledge, awareness, response, and preventative work
- Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

It will be expected that best practice standards and full lifecycle of domestic abuse cases will be delivered at all times.

We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
