The Domestic Abuse Prevention All Risk Perpetrator Worker will strive to make contact and work on a one-to-one basis with perpetrators whose victims have been identified through all levels of risk.
The purpose of this role is to move the perpetrator along the spectrum of awareness; acceptance of impact; desire to change; to voluntary engagement in behavioural change to end the cycle of abuse for children who are victims of domestic abuse.
The Domestic Abuse Prevention Worker will work with people on: awareness raising and developing motivation to change with people who recognise they are at risk of or are harming their partner (low risk), individual case management and group behavioural change programmes (standard and medium risk), intensive case management aimed at high harm and/or significant recidivist perpetrators. To do this, the Domestic Abuse Prevention worker will work closely with existing agencies as part of a co located multi agency approach.
The Domestic Abuse Prevention worker will work closely with the victim/survivor IDVA service to review risk, develop safety plans, and improve outcomes for all parties involved.
The work carried out in Bolton is currently focused on MATAC where we provide the service sometimes referred to as PAST.
The Prevention, Action and Support Team (PAST) provides an intensive case management service for individuals (all genders, 18+) identified by the police as high risk, high harm perpetrators of domestic abuse. The intervention lasts 8 – 16 weeks, (with potential extensions based on the duration of the perpetrators inclusion in the perpetrator panel cohort). Cases are referred through a police-led perpetrator panel (e.g., MATAC or DATAC).
PAST’s intensive case management approach balances support, accountability, and disruption to deliver tailored interventions that enhance victim safety, provide perpetrators with opportunity for change – while ensuring they are held accountable for their actions.

- Oversee day‑to‑day finance operations, ensuring accuracy, compliance and strong internal controls.
- Produce high‑quality management accounts, budgets, forecasts and financial analysis.
- Lead on the annual audit and statutory accounts.
- Ensure compliance with tax, VAT (including partial exemption), Gift Aid and SORP.

Desirable:
- Experience with Xero, Microsoft Dynamics, or Power BI.
- Procurement or contract management experience, especially in complex or multi‑party environments.
If you are a strategic, hands‑on finance leader who thrives in complexity and wants to use your expertise to create lasting social impact, we’d love to hear from you.
