Job Summary:

Are you collaborative, compassionate and target-driven with a proven record of working with perpetrators or victims of domestic abuse as well as with offenders? Looking for a highly rewarding new career opportunity?

About
St Giles Trust
An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes, and the right support they need.

Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions, and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others.

St Giles is now a kickstart employer, so we are part of the scheme which provides job opportunities for 16-24 year-olds who are currently on Universal Credit and are at risk of long-term unemployment.

About this key role

You will produce DA offender risk management plans based on assessments and ensure that the DA perpetrator understands the consequences of their DA offending behaviour and works towards accepting responsibility for their actions and to positively change their behaviour.

We will also count on you to always promote and protect the safety of the victim(s) and families and to collaborate closely with all key stakeholders to ensure that increases in risk of harm are escalated rapidly and a multi-agency plan is in place.

Delivering a holistic support service as the situation dictates is also a key element of the role.

What we are looking for

Several years of professional experience of similar role.
Experience of completing risk assessments and safeguarding victims, children, and families
Experience of providing support, advice and advocacy and the ability to assess clients' needs
Experience of engaging successfully with challenging people
Atleast 3 years of work experience of working with domestic abuse perpetrators.
Experience in negotiating with partner agencies to establish links to further the aims of a project
Knowledge of risk factors associated with perpetrators of domestic abuse
Knowledge of uptodate housing, criminal, civil and welfare rights legislation relating to domestic abuse
Excellent interpersonal, relationshipbuilding and communication skills, both verbal and written

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, season ticket loan and much more.

Please note St Giles will guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria set out in the Job Description for the vacancy.

As an organisation that works with children and adults at risk we are committed to safeguarding, protecting and promoting the safety of our clients and successful applicants will be DBS Checked.

Police vetting will also be required for this role.
