Contract: Permanent

Job Reference: 1801

Location: Mandatory office day on Wednesdays in Haddenham, Aylesbury (centre of Thames Valley) – other days working from home and community visits with service users (minimal caseload).

A new and exciting opportunity has arisen within the organisation to assist leading the team to deliver domestic abuse perpetrator case management interventions across Thames Valley as part of the Drive Project.

Drive is an innovative national project that aims to improve the lives and safety of victims and children, by holding high‑risk perpetrators to account. The project combines case management of perpetrators with a co‑ordinated multi‑agency response. The project has been running in Thames Valley since Autumn 2023.

By supporting individuals to make meaningful changes, the project contributes to improved quality of life and safer outcomes for victim/survivors and perpetrators of domestic abuse – disrupting and reducing reoffending and helping offenders move away from the criminal justice system.

As Team Leader, you will support the Service Manager to manage the delivery of the Drive Project and interventions across Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire alongside another Team Leader.
You will champion the Cranstoun values across the organisation and drive the Cranstoun ‘people’ agenda ensuring a culture based on fairness, collaboration and trust. You will support the Case Managers and Drive IDVAs in their work, ensuring high quality and safe practice by completing regular case reviews of active cases, and hold a minimal caseload yourself. You will work closely alongside and within a wider team of multi‑agency stakeholders.

The successful candidate will have management skills and a demonstrable track record within the field of domestic abuse and/or with highly complex cohorts or offenders. This role involves delivering and line managing people who deliver 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, as well as support your team to do the same.

You will have experience and passion for collaboration, partnership, strategic and organisational development.
