About The Role
These roles are based at Kendal Police Station, West Morland & Furness, Cumbria, and involve regular travel. Due to the location, a driving licence and access to a vehicle is considered an essential requirement. If you are unable to drive because of a disability please indicate this in your application in your personal statement so we can explore the feasibility of alternative arrangements.
As a Case Manager, you will strive to make contact and work on a one-to-one basis with perpetrators to pro-actively secure engagement, influence attitudinal and behavioural change and link to complementary services. To do this, you will work alongside existing agencies to design a co-ordinated, intervention plan, addressing identified needs and risks, and promoting understanding of the impact of abusive behaviours.
You will work closely with the IDVA's (integrated partner support) to review risk, develop safety plans, and improve outcomes for all parties involved. You will support individuals to make meaningful changes and contribute to improved quality of life and safer outcomes – helping offenders move away from the criminal justice system.
You will be passionate and committed to working within a multi-disciplinary team and will have a demonstrable track record of working with complex‑need service users. This may be within the field of domestic abuse, and/or mental health, substance misuse and offending.
We are seeking experienced professionals from domestic abuse, offender rehabilitation, or mental health backgrounds who bring strong case‑management expertise and a passion for behaviour change. This role involves delivering one-to-one psychosocial interventions with high‑risk perpetrators of domestic abuse, aiming to reduce long‑term risk to current and future victims/survivors, and children.
These posts will be subject to an Enhanced DBS Disclosure.
