Job description

The role

We are looking for 2 IDVAS to join our DRIVE team and work within the Drive Project model across Cheshire. The role involves providing one-to-one support to adult victims / survivors of domestic abuse, working with high-risk victims of domestic abuse linked to the Drive Project perpetrator/MATAC panel. 

In this role you will complete and regularly review risk and needs assessments with victims - survivors of domestic abuse.You will liaise with partner agencies, actively contributing to multi-agency plans and risk management / safeguarding procedures. You will carry out a large and varied range of practical support which may include safety planning, advocacy and explaining legal and civil options available. We also offer emotional support to those people we work with, encouraging and supporting them to rebuild lost confidence and self-esteem. Using a trauma-informed approach you will place the people we are supporting at the centre of your work. You will work alongside a multiagency team and be the voice for the victim on local perpetrator panels. You will work alongside the Domestic Abuse Prevention Worker to ensure safe working across victim and perpetrator work, risk assessing actions together to support best practice and overall safety.

About you

You’ll have a deep understanding of the nature of domestic abuse and its effects on clients and children, as well as the reasons behind abusive behaviours towards intimate partners.

Your knowledge extends to the range of statutory and voluntary agencies that clients and their children may encounter, and you are aware of the impact of domestic abuse on children and parenting, including the additional needs of clients from BMER communities.

You will have experience in working with clients on issues of domestic abuse, providing one-to-one and group support and advice, managing your own workload and administration, and assessing the risk and safety of your clients and those connected to your client.  You will have handled safeguarding disclosures and referrals, and you communicate clearly with a range of people both over the telephone and in person.

You will be organised, able to use your initiative, and work effectively as part of a multi-service team. Your administrative skills are strong, and you are adept at using a computer to maintain effective systems.

Flexible and willing to work evenings, you can travel independently. Additionally, you will understand trauma-informed practices, risk mitigation, and safeguarding. Experience liaising with social workers and other professionals, and in related areas such as substance misuse, child protection, or family support, is desirable. You will have a full IDVA qualification, or the willingness to work towards one.

Fluency in an additional language and skills in group work are also advantageous. You stay updated with best practices and new initiatives.

We want you to feel empowered to bring your authentic self to this role, so we encourage flexible working around core hours. We offer an annual continuous Professional Development allowance, generous annual leave entitlement and Birthday leave.
