As a part of the Drive project, you’ll be working alongside partner agencies (e.g. offender management services, Police, Social Care, mental health services) to create and coordinate a multi-agency intervention plan for each individual case to disrupt abuse, encourage and enable the perpetrator to address additional support needs, and deliver 1:1 behaviour change work. As part of the Drive Project Team, you’ll be responsible for working alongside partners and statutory structures, you’ll increase professionals’ knowledge of safe, effective work with perpetrators, promoting the Drive approach to reduce abuse and increase safety of victims and children.
You’ll also work closely with the IDVA service and other victim services, who’ll be supporting their partners and family members, to help review risk and develop safety plans.
