Job offered by: RISE Mutual CIC

RISE is a domestic abuse programme provider as part of the Domestic Abuse Protection Orders (DAPOs) pilot running in Croydon, Bromley and Sutton.

A core feature of the DAPO is the imposition of positive requirements, mandating the perpetrator to take an action, including attendance on one of RISE’s perpetrator behaviour change programmes.

This position will predominantly focus on Culturally Integrated Family Approach (CIFA) to domestic abuse, working in Croydon, Bromley, and Sutton boroughs of London. The CIFA project will involve a multi-layered approach to working with victims, perpetrators, and family members or extended family and friends facilitating and supporting the abuse.

One-to-one delivery:

Deliver a wide range of interventions, predominantly one-to-ones, embedding a culturally informed and multi-agency approach to domestic abuse in the area.

Ensure delivery is in accordance with tasks outlined in the RISE Domestic Abuse Perpetrator manual and process mapping.

Adhere to relevant CIFA and other manuals and deliver programme sessions to ensure the integrity of delivery, which is overseen by the Advanced Practitioner and Team Leader.

Apply specialised materials to support your delivery to racialised and marginalised communities.

Be responsible and accountable for working with the Advanced Practitioner, Domestic Abuse safety advice, and line manager to ensure risk is reviewed on a weekly basis.

Comply with the appropriate audit standards when working with perpetrators in line with RESPECT or HMPPS’s requirements.

Use motivational interviewing techniques and strength-based approaches in building a range of therapeutic skills to engage with service users to address their abusive behaviour.

Encourage and facilitate learning with participants in one-to-one or group settings, including proactively working to elicit behavioural change and acceptance of their behaviour towards their partner or ex-partner.

Work closely with other professionals to ensure appropriate steps are taken to protect individuals where there is an imminent risk to another person. Apply RISE’s escalation procedures.

Be personally accountable for the completion of assessments, mid-way reports, and End of Intervention reports, ensuring they are to a high standard.

Provide support and consultancy to other professionals to ensure appropriateness of referrals and improve understanding of domestic abuse.

Ensure effective planning for the delivery of each intervention with a co-practitioner (if group work) in advance of the session.

Participate in and pass the necessary training to be able to deliver all interventions.

Assist or lead on the delivery of training courses.

Create and maintain effective partnership working with statutory, private, and voluntary agencies to address the issue of domestic abuse.

Work with families and extended family members to tackle abuse within the home.

Where appropriate, apply pre-session motivational or Deniers sessions prior to attendance on the main course or group work intervention.

Integrating the Safety Support Service:

Liaise and engage closely with the Domestic Abuse Safety Advisor to increase the safety of partners, ex-partners, and children of the service user to manage risk and develop treatment goals.

Prior to delivering Domestic Abuse Interventions, liaise and share information with RISE Domestic Abuse Safety Officers to ensure an integrated and culturally sensitive approach is applied to risk management.

Attend monthly risk review meetings with the Domestic Abuse Safety Advisor and Senior practitioners to ensure effective risk management procedures are always applied.
