You will be responsible for:

  • Contacting victims to conduct risk assessments, safety planning and referrals to IDVA and other services as appropriate.
  • Supporting clients to understand the purpose of Drive and assist them in recognising the features and dynamics of domestic abuse present in their situation.
  • You will be a key member of the perpetrator panel. You will research and gather information to present the views of victims and the risks posed to them in order for risk to be managed and mitigated where possible.

You will need:

  • An in depth understanding of domestic abuse, risk assessment and risk management including experience of working with victims of domestic abuse.
  • Understand the principles of risk assessment, safety planning and risk management for victims of domestic abuse and their children
  • Have theoretical, practical and procedural knowledge of civil and criminal justice remedies for victims of domestic abuse and their children
  • Empathy and a genuine desire to help and support victims of domestic abuse
