Bradford RESET Case Worker

Volunteer Centre; Bradford; On-site; GBP 25,000 - 35,000; Full time

Job description

The Bradford RESET service, which stands for Recognising, Engaging and Supporting Everyone to Transform, will officially launch on April 1st, 2025. This innovative service brings a trauma-informed approach to support individuals who have caused or who are causing harm in their intimate and/or family relationships and for those with additional complex needs within our community. Bradford RESET is led by Bridge in partnership with Create Strength Group.

Bradford RESET uniquely combines two existing services focused on domestic abuse, delivered by Bridge, with an extensive new programme offer for individuals aged 16 and over who cause harm. This integration creates a vibrant opportunity for Bradford to tackle the underlying causes of domestic abuse by providing effective, therapeutic, and proactive support. We also recognise the importance of holistic family wellness and safety, offering therapeutic support for entire families affected by the behaviours of individuals involved in the programme.

The Case Worker will be part of a wider team and is dedicated to the new programme element of the Bradford RESET service.

We are looking for a positive, enthusiastic person who is fully committed to working within a new and dynamic delivery model. We seek an individual who prioritises collaboration and inclusivity, vs people who view themselves as having greater authority/power over our clients.

You will be engaging with people aged 16+ of any gender, referred or self-referring to the service, who are harming or have harmed in their family and/or intimate relationships. This includes those with varying motivations to change, outstanding charges, ongoing criminal investigations, family court proceedings or re-offending during their involvement with the service. The Case Worker will be working within our trauma-informed model that addresses the root causes of domestic abuse, proactively engaging with resistance and compliance challenges through therapeutic individual and group work programmes. Each component not only focuses on behaviour change but also addresses broader health and wellbeing determinants. This service is committed to inclusive practices, believing that people’s wellbeing and safety are significantly improved when they are actively engaged in our programmes.

This is a full-time, permanent role and is subject to an enhanced disclosure and barring check (the results of which would not necessarily exclude applicants from consideration).

This post would benefit from a full driving licence and use of a vehicle, due to traveling to sites for the delivery of services, for which travel expenses will be paid.

If you are passionate about what we do and would thrive working as part of our staff team, we would love to hear from you. We welcome people who are males, who are currently underrepresented in the service.

In return, as well as a rewarding career, we can offer a competitive salary, 4% pension contribution, generous annual leave entitlement, employee assistance scheme, life insurance, a monthly team wellbeing session and a programme of mindfulness activities for staff. The Bridge Project is a Mindful Employer.

No CVs are accepted. No Employment Agencies please.

The closing date for applications is 8.00am on Friday 25 April 2025.

You must complete the Bridge Project’s application form in order to be considered for the role. The application form plays a key part in our recruitment and selection process. We use the information you provide about your skills, experience, career and education history to decide whether or not to invite you for an interview. It is important that you complete the application form as fully and accurately as possible, ensuring that you give specific examples which demonstrate how you meet the criteria.
