Domestic Abuse Workers
Do you want to join a new and exciting service supporting Norfolk's most vulnerable families?

Are you passionate about providing children and their families with the guidance and support they need to live within the community and thrive within the family home?


We are looking to recruit dedicated resilient practitioners across Norfolk to join our Intensive and Specialist Support service with the aim to enable more children to remain at home safely with their families.


As a Domestic Abuse Worker, you will undertake specialist support to families and individuals experiencing domestic abuse, working alongside Social Workers/Family Practitioners to promote safety and well-being and prevent escalation of need.

You will embrace Norfolk Vital Signs for children as an approach that underpins your work with children and families.


You will contribute to multi-agency working and provide specialist knowledge in the field of domestic violence to ensure positive outcomes for children, young people and their families.

You will need to have several years' experience of working directly with children and families.


You will be confident delivering interventions one-to-one with families or on a group basis, have experience of face-to-face work with victims and/or perpetrators of domestic abuse and their families, understand domestic abuse including the impact on victims and their families and understand the principles of risk assessment, safety planning and risk management for victims of domestic abuse and their children.


In order to support families when they most need it, Domestic Abuse Workers work a 37 hour per week, Monday to Sunday contract.

You will be required - on occasion - to work outside of normal office working hours, including evenings, mornings and weekends.

You will be required to travel as part of your duties and you may be required, at short notice, to transport young people between a variety of rural and urban locations.


We have two vacancies available:
1 x 37 hours per week, based at County Hall in Norwich covering the City & South locality.


1 x 37 hours per week, based at North Norfolk District Council offices in Cromer covering the North, Broadland & East localities.

Both are permanent Monday to Sunday contracts.
