Would you like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise and passion of its staff to inspire and support positive change for the people they work with? Then join us as a Programme Facilitator and play a vital role within our Domestic Violence Perpetrators Programme in the West Midlands.
Right now, My Time, a division of Richmond Fellowship, is looking for a Male Domestic Violence Programme Facilitator to join them. My Time is a supportive organisation that gives its clients time and space to rethink their lives and discover new ways to tackle problems. Their Domestic Violence Perpetrator Programme (DVPP) has Respect’s SMP standard. The service is committed to keeping women and children safe whilst offering the support and opportunity to men who have been abusive within their intimate relationships to address their behaviours.
Working closely with another facilitator, you’ll deliver a structured intervention as part of a rolling programme to individuals who have perpetrated domestic abuse towards their intimate partner. As well as managing a caseload and challenging any emotive and volatile situations arising within the group, you’ll ensure important feedback regarding the safeguarding aspect of victims is reported as high priority and maintain close links with victim support service caseworkers. Keeping records that are accurate, up‐to‐date and in line with Respect practice standards will be important, as will staying aware of current and developing legislation regarding Domestic Abuse issues for both the victim and perpetrator. When it comes to developing relationships with local stakeholders and supporting the DVPP Lead’s in marketing the service and maintaining referrals and assessments, again, we'll rely on you.
To succeed, you will need a recognised qualification in counselling and psychotherapy or a degree in psychology, health and social care or equivalent demonstrable experience within the field.

You’ll also need an understanding of the need to offer an integrated service to both male perpetrators and to the women who have experienced domestic abuse. Knowledge of CBT, experience of challenging cognitive distortions and awareness of patterns of behaviour in domestic abuse perpetrators are all ‘must haves’ too. Solution‐focused and outcome driven, with an open and encouraging approach, lots of tact and diplomacy and good verbal and written communication skills, you're also able to lead by example and supervise and motivate others in a group work setting.
