Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Caseworker
Full and Part Time working patterns considered
(Fixed Term contract until 31/3/2028)
We are looking for specialist perpetrator DA Caseworkers to support our exciting domestic abuse team based within Children’s Social Care. Elmore’s domestic abuse service aims to provide a safe space for victim/survivors and perpetrators of abuse. We work with people to recognise, acknowledge, and change harmful and controlling behaviour, to keep whole families safe.
Our perpetrator caseworkers provide structured interventions by delivery of peer group and one to one support for abusive parents, aimed at increasing families’ safety and wellbeing. We aim to challenge and address attitudes and beliefs that support and underpin abusive behaviours. Our perpetrator caseworkers deliver our Programme for Creating Change; a 16-week group programme underpinned by group work and peer-to-peer learning, which focuses on building understanding and skill development in communication skills, respect, conflict resolution, and accountability.
We are looking for candidates who have experience of challenging and empowering individuals to make positive changes to their lives and supporting clients with complex needs in a relevant field (preferably domestic abuse). Successful candidates will need to be compassionate, non-judgemental, skilled in active listening, and experienced in risk management and safety planning, as well as being a skilled communicator able to develop partnership relationships in a multi-disciplinary team.
