Help children and young people recover, grow and thrive after domestic abuse.

Our Domestic Abuse Team works across Gateshead to support adults, children and families affected by domestic abuse.

We are committed to delivering a whole-family approach, ensuring victims receive the support they need while promoting positive outcomes for children and encouraging engagement with appropriate perpetrator programmes.

Manage a varied caseload, prioritising work effectively and maintaining accurate, timely records.
Support individuals who have experienced or witnessed domestic abuse, helping them understand and address the impact on their lives.
Deliver domestic abuse duty cover on a rota basis, triaging referrals and ensuring timely allocation of work.
Promote engagement with perpetrator programmes as part of a whole-family approach to reducing risk.
Work collaboratively with internal and external partners, sharing information appropriately to safeguard and support families.
Act as the MASH Domestic Abuse Liaison on a rota basis, providing specialist expertise and guidance.
Deliver domestic abuse information, awareness and training to colleagues and partner organisations.
Contribute to service monitoring, evaluation and data collection activities.
Provide a responsive and flexible service, including occasional evening and weekend working where required.
Undertake any other duties appropriate to the grade of the post.

Supporting children today. Changing futures tomorrow.

What you will bring:

A relevant professional qualification at NVQ Level 4 or above, or substantial experience supporting victims of domestic abuse and their families, together with a willingness to undertake specialist domestic abuse training.
Strong knowledge of the impact of domestic abuse on adults and children, child development, safeguarding procedures and associated legal responsibilities.
Understanding of the civil and criminal legislative framework relating to domestic abuse, along with risk assessment and safety planning principles.
Significant experience providing practical and emotional support to victims of domestic abuse, including direct work with children affected by abuse.
Experience of building effective multi-agency partnerships and working collaboratively with a wide range of professionals.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to maintain professional boundaries and work in a way that promotes equality, inclusion and respect.
Proven ability to manage competing priorities, organise workloads, use initiative and work effectively both independently and as part of a team.
