This is an exciting opportunity to join Equation, a Nottinghamshire based, award winning and innovative charity dedicated to preventing and responding to domestic and sexual violence and abuse.
We are looking for a part time Intervention Worker to join our Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Programme Service – the Your Choice Project (voluntary perpetrator programme).

Due to specific requirements of the role (in line with Respect Standard B6) we are looking to recruit a male candidate to this post.
The Intervention Worker will be responsible for delivering sessions (group and one to one as may be required) with people who recognise that they are or have been using power and control to abuse their partner, ex-partner or family member and who want to address this behaviour. The Intervention Worker will undertake such sessions in a way that prioritises the safety of those at risk from domestic violence and abuse.
We are looking for someone who has experience of providing group work and/or one to one counselling and an understanding of:
-
Domestic violence and abuse and its effects on survivors
-
Why some people use abusive behaviours in relationships
-
The range of models used in addressing abusive behaviour

Safeguarding procedures in relation to children and vulnerable adults.
