AtIDAS (Independent Domestic Abuse Services), we are committed to supporting individuals and families impacted by domestic abuse and sexual violence. As the leading specialist charity in Yorkshire, we are looking for dedicated, compassionate, and courageous individuals to join our inclusive and inspiring team. Whether you're seeking a meaningful career or a new challenge, this is your opportunity to contribute to life-changing work in a supportive and flexible environment.
We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and respectful workplace. We value the unique perspectives and experiences that individuals from all backgrounds bring, and we actively encourage applications from underrepresented groups. IDAS is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, and this role will adhere to safer recruitment procedures in accordance with our organisational policies.
About the Role
OVERALL OBJECTIVES
This brand new role will be co-located within the Integrated Front Door (Children’s Social Care) at Wombwell, Barnsley.
Children are recognised as victims in their own right, and local systems must respond effectively at the point of first contact to mitigate both immediate risk and long-term harm.
The primary objective of the role is to identify domestic abuse at the earliest opportunity and to support partner agencies to respond as safely and effectively as possible. The role will provide robust safety planning in cases where domestic abuse is present.
By embedding specialist domestic abuse expertise within the Integrated Front Door, the postholder will contribute to all multi-agency decision-making at this critical stage. The role will also provide advice, guidance, and support to social workers allocated to cases where domestic abuse poses a risk within the family home.
Objectives specific to the Integrated front door role :
Identify domestic abuse earlier and more consistently at contact.
Improve timeliness and quality of decision-making (right help, first time).
Develop robust, survivor- and child-centred safety plans from day one.
Reduce repeat referrals and repeat victimisation.
Strengthen whole-family practice and safe perpetrator management pathways.
Expert domestic abuse input in decision-making from initial contact with the front door.
Strengthen the survivors' voice throughout all assessments and processes.
Take lead on IDAS Children's services in Barnsley
Represent IDAS at multi-agency meetings such as MADA, strategy meetings and safeguarding meetings.
