About The Role


About the role:

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Domestic Abuse and Interpersonal Violence Team as we expand our existing service provision. We have had one vacancy arise in the team. The service will offer a whole family, tiered approach to domestic abuse, supporting all levels of risk. You will be joining a friendly, supportive and dedicated team of staff.

The Domestic Abuse Specialist Practitioners (DASP) will be based in one of the areas of Birmingham (North, West Central, East or South) offering group work to families screened as low and medium risk domestic abuse and 121 work where needed. You will also provide specialist advice and guidance to our Family Help Teams which consist of Targeted Family Help (Early Help) and Family Help Social Work colleagues in their district areas. The DASP will also need to deliver a rolling programme of Domestic Abuse Training to the wider workforce.

You will receive a full induction, training and be supported by your team and line manager to deliver excellent service provision to families affected by domestic abuse in a safe, creative and innovative way.

You will also be required to contribute to evaluation reports as this is a new role which needs to be reviewed for impact and outcomes and inform further work.

You will also need to be confident in using a range of IT applications and will be required to access a range of databases. You will need to have strong record keeping skills. You need to be solution focussed, calm under pressure and work autonomously but know when to escalate matters of concern.
