Purpose of the role
You will be responsible for providing high quality specialist front-line domestic abuse support to people living in the areas we cover, working with colleagues and other statutory and voluntary agencies to assist our clients to access services, to support and help keep them safe, and to rebuild their lives.
You will also be responsible for helping to develop good working partnerships and relationships with other voluntary and statutory agencies, as well as local and national specialist agencies working within the local community. We look to all our practitioners to work with those agencies to increase staff awareness and to increase confidence, skills and knowledge in relation to domestic abuse.
