As a Domestic Abuse Specialist working for Aurora New Dawn, you will work to strengthen the police response to domestic abuse by providing independent, specialist expertise within police control rooms.
Based in a local police control room you will work alongside call handlers, dispatchers, and officers to:
* assess risk and ensure no opportunities for safeguarding are missed
* quality assure police responses to domestic abuse calls
* review incident logs, DASH/DARA risk assessments, and Body Worn Video (BWV) footage
* provide operational advice to officers deploying to incidents
* identify and facilitate referrals into specialist domestic abuse support services
* improve victim safety from the very first point of contact
Working under the direction of a Senior member of staff you will work independently but collaboratively with Thames Valley police, and in line with our organisational values.
This role involves supporting and developing police staff within police centres. There may also be occasions in the future where you attend callouts alongside officers to observe their engagement with victims, to provide feedback that supports risk assessment and safeguarding processes.
PLEASE NOTE: This is an on-site role which requires you to be co-located within police control rooms and/or call centres during your shifts.
