TLC: Talk, Listen, Change is a dynamic, leading relationships charity based in Manchester. At TLC: Talk, Listen, Change, working in partnership with Greater Manchester Combined Authority, The Drive Partnership; Respect, SafeLives and Social Finance and with Manchester, Salford, we have secured funding from the Home Office to grow our work with perpetrators of domestic abuse, their partners and families.

The Drive Partnership - Respect, SafeLives and Social Finance – believes domestic abuse is not acceptable or inevitable. We work with high-harm, high-risk and serial perpetrators of domestic abuse in sites across England and Wales to prevent their abusive behaviour and protect adult and child victims. And it works. A study by the University of Bristol shows that the Drive intervention reduces abuse.

At the same time as delivering the Drive intervention in specific sites, we are working across the domestic abuse specialist sector, public sector partners and beyond to develop sustainable, national systems that respond to perpetrators of domestic abuse. That’s what this role is about.

Our vision is that one day agencies in all Police and Crime Commissioner and local authority areas across England and Wales – backed by national leaders - will work together to disrupt domestic abuse and challenge and change perpetrator’s behaviour.

If you’re passionate about ending domestic abuse and interested in ensuring perpetrators are risk managed and supported to change, wherever they live in England and Wales, we want to hear from you.

Although not essential we are strongly seeking to recruit candidates who are fluent in speaking an additional language for some of these roles.

Please note that all roles are currently predominately home based due to current restrictions.  Longer term flexible working options available however travel across Greater Manchester will be expected once face to face delivery commences.

All posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check.

Purpose of this role

Working alongside the Drive Director, National Programme Lead, and the Head of Communications, Policy and Public Affairs, this post will manage resources from across the partnership, to ensure co-ordinated and successful delivery of the Drive Partnership’s national systems change objectives, including:

• Raising awareness and capacity across voluntary and statutory services through workforce development training, sharing learning, events, seminars and building partnerships, particularly within children’s social care
• Identifying systemic gaps in perpetrator response and propose solutions to them – taking the insights gleaned from the delivery of Drive and using them as the starting point to develop new models with a particular focus on improving responses for black and minoritised groups, and the LGBTQ community
• Building the evidence base and ensuring there is a feedback loop between evidence and frontline practice
• Promoting Quality Assurance of perpetrator provision across both voluntary and statutory sectors
• Supporting the Communications, Policy and Public Affairs team
• The post will be responsible for ensuring that all the systems change work, at its core, reflects the needs of minoritised groups.

Background

RECLAIM is a youth leadership and social change organisation. We are a small but bold charity, using our experience and platform to support and amplify the voices of working class young people. 

Our long term goal is to create a Britain where those of us from working-class backgrounds are proud of – and not held back by – our roots. We want working-class people to be represented in places where decisions are made about their lives and to be recognised for their talent, strength, and diversity. We want to see working-class young people at the heart of this, in a country that ensures that they are seen, heard, and leading change.

Through our work we run programmes to support young people to recognise and develop their leadership skills. We support them to lead campaigns on issues they care about. Recent campaigns include:

• We supported young people to successfully campaign for free bus travel for all 16-18 year olds across Greater Manchester. A policy which now benefits 40,000 young people, making 250,000 free journeys per week and saving them and their families an average of over £500 per young person per year.

• We helped young people highlight and challenge the increasing use of violent and dehumanising language in politics. The campaign gained widespread media coverage and resulted in new commitments from the Speaker, Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition.

• Young people we support have been at the forefront of highlighting the impact of COVID19 on working-class communities and demanding better recognition of the essential workers keeping the country going during lockdown.

This year we’ve launched Change Makers - a new programme for working-class young people who want to step forward and take their place in addressing the issues that hold them back. It’s an online campaign leadership programme to equip young people aged 16-19 years old with the skills and knowledge to identify and influence those in power and make effective and long-lasting change.

JOB DESCRIPTION

●   Deliver an exciting and engaging training plan for our the Change Makers programme - educating participants on the principles of campaigning and how to develop impactful campaigns.

Ongoing Campaigns Support:

●   Provide advice and support to launch their campaigns and support them to have impact - from how to engage people online to how to get into the media.

●   On the lookout for creative campaigning practises and new ideas to keep our campaigns fresh and engaging.
