The Bradford RESET service, which stands for Recognising, Engaging and Supporting Everyone to Transform, officially launched on April 1st, 2025. This innovative service brings a trauma-informed approach to support individuals who have caused or who are causing harm in their intimate and/ or family relationships and for those with additional complex needs within our community. Bradford RESET is led by Bridge in partnership with Create Strength Group.

This is an exciting role, taking referrals and working with people who are identified as but may not self-identify as perpetrators of domestic abuse. Referrals into this element of Bradford RESET will come through two routes, 1. the Integrated Offender Management (IOM) Police Team who are based within the DA Unit - for standard and medium risk cases and, 2. the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) - high risk cases.

Specifically, the post holder will work with standard, through to high-risk people harming in their intimate and/or family relationships. The primary role is to proactively engage and provide trauma informed motivational intervention and prevention to perpetrators, identifying their strengths and areas of unmet need and navigate people into a wide range of health and wellbeing services to meet these needs. Once fully engaged in services _and_ a reduction/ cessation of offending has been achieved, the post holder will work to engage the person into the longer-term support element of the Bradford RESET service. This will evolve clear transition processes to ensure full engagement, aimed at longer term cessation of offending and improved wellbeing.
- Provide aspirational person-centred, trauma informed support through building a trusting relationship with the person to start to address issues that contribute to incidents of abuse.
- Proactivity and intensively conduct face to face work with the perpetrator to build all the networks of support that wrap around the individual to facilitate recovery, building and sustaining hope.

If you are passionate about what we do and would thrive working as part of our staff team, we would love to hear from you.

In return, as well as a rewarding career, we can offer a competitive salary, 4% pension contribution, generous annual leave entitlement, an L&D programme, employee assistance scheme, life insurance, a monthly team wellbeing session and a programme of mindfulness activities for staff. The Bridge Project is a Mindful Employer.
