Make a difference where it matters most

Are you an experienced Domestic Abuse professional looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to adults and children affected by domestic abuse?

As a result of service expansion, we are recruiting several MACPT IDVA’s to join the GDASS team in Gloucestershire. Working as part of a multi-agency team, you will provide specialist domestic abuse advice, support and safety planning to families who are also working with Children’s Services.

This is a varied and rewarding role where your expertise will help keep people safe, strengthen multi-agency working and ensure that the needs of children living with domestic abuse are recognised and responded to.

About the role

As a MACPT IDVA, you will:

  • Provide practical, emotional, housing-related and specialist domestic abuse support to people experiencing or at risk of domestic abuse.
  • Work with families across all levels of risk, completing and reviewing risk assessments and developing appropriate safety plans.
  • Manage a caseload and support clients to identify and achieve their own goals, choices and outcomes.
  • Work closely with social workers, family support workers and other professionals to provide a coordinated, trauma-informed response.
  • Ensure that the needs and experiences of children affected by domestic abuse are identified and appropriate support is put in place.
  • Attend and contribute to MACPT meetings, Child Protection Conferences, Child in Need meetings, Strategy Meetings, MARAC’s and other multi-agency forums as the domestic abuse specialist.
  • Provide specialist advice, consultation, training and guidance to Children’s Social Care and other professionals.
  • Liaise with statutory and voluntary agencies including health, probation, housing providers, legal services and other support organisations.
  • This role involves regular lone working and visits to clients and remote locations. You will therefore need to be able to meet the requirements of our lone-working procedures and have access to your own transport to travel between locations.
  • You will also be required to work in accordance with organisational policies covering safeguarding, health and safety, confidentiality, information security and data protection.
  • Maintain accurate, confidential records and ensure information is managed in line with data protection and organisational requirements.
