Domestic Abuse Worker - Surrey, United Kingdom - Surrey County Council
Description
Description
This role has a starting salary of £31,262 per annum, based on a 36 hour working week.
We are excited to be hiring a new Domestic Abuse Worker to join our fantastic Family Safeguarding team based in Guildford.
Rewards and Benefits
About the Team
At Surrey, the Family Safeguarding model brings together all necessary professionals under one roof to aid children. This innovative approach, successful elsewhere, is now being pioneered by Surrey, the first council in the South East to adopt it. The model encourages collaboration among professionals, combining children's social workers with experts in domestic abuse, family support, recovery, mental health, and psychology. This holistic approach enables intensive support for parents, addressing issues like substance misuse, mental health, and domestic abuse, ultimately safeguarding children and improving family outcomes.
About the role
This role sits within the Family Safeguarding teams across the County and provides practical and emotional frontline support, advice and guidance to victims of domestic abuse to enable them to live safely. Typical tasks may include but will not be limited to safety planning to allow those experiencing domestic abuse to access and maintain safe accommodation, undertaking motivational interviewing to obtain information to support them, and look at the impact of domestic abuse on their children.
You will be required to ensure case records are accurately maintained in line with procedural and legislative requirements. You will also be required to deliver domestic abuse group work programmes.
Working closely with an allocated Social Worker, as well as other specialist workers, you will support the planning, running and review of cases within the team, contributing to case discussions and exchanging information where appropriate. You will liaise with a broad network of partners such as probation, mental health services, housing and the voluntary sector to ensure that a multi-agency approach is applied to the way that cases are managed and services are delivered.
This role will require you to be able to quickly establish effective relationships with colleagues, partners, children and families, working respectfully in a way which encourages them to recognise what help they require and empowering them to develop strategies to support their needs. You will be operating in sometimes challenging and emotionally charged situations therefore you must have the ability to communicate clearly, remain calm under pressure and deal with each request confidentially, applying a discreet and sensitive approach to all that you do.
