<h2>Domestic Abuse Court Advocacy Accreditation Lead (Scotland) - 12-month Maternity Cover</h2> Reports to &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Head of Scotland ​ Hours &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;37.5 hours per week Salary &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; £42,413.87 per annum Contract &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 12 months fixed-term (maternity cover) Location &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Scotland (remote) with regular travel within Scotland and once or twice a year to the central office in Bristol Benefits &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A generous package including 25 days holiday per year plus public holidays, employee pension scheme with 4% employer contribution, Cycle2Work scheme, 365 days a year Employee Assistance Programme. ​<h1>Who are we?</h1>We are SafeLives, the UK-wide charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse, for everyone and for good. Last year alone, 14,000 professionals received our training. Over 80,000 adults at risk of serious harm or murder and more than 100,000 children received support through dedicated multi-agency support designed by us and delivered with partners. In the last six years, over 4,000 perpetrators have been challenged and supported to change by interventions we created with partners, and that’s just the start. Together we can end domestic abuse. Forever. For everyone.<h1>​</h1><h1>Background to the Project</h1>In 2022, SafeLives and ASSIST began the Domestic Abuse Court Advocacy project, funded by Scottish Government’s Victim Centred Approach Fund (VCAF), to ultimately ensure more victims of domestic abuse have a safe and informed journey through the criminal justice system. Specifically, the project aims to build consistency in how domestic abuse court advocacy provision is delivered across Scotland via creation of Domestic Abuse Court Advocacy (DACA) Standards, establishment of an accreditation framework for DACA services, and delivery of a new Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA)-accredited training block on specialist domestic abuse court advocacy. ​Now in its fourth year, the project team have already created Domestic Abuse Court Advocacy standards for Scotland and developed accreditation and mentoring frameworks for domestic abuse services across Scotland that provide court advocacy to their clients. A new block of the well-established Independent Domestic Abuse Advocacy (Idaa) training block, in partnership with ASSIST and Scottish Women’s Aid, has also been developed. More detail on the progress of the project to date can be explored on the website&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dacascotland.org.uk/" target="_blank">Home | DACA Scotland</a> <h1>Where you come in</h1>Working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders and in close partnership with a subject matter expert from ASSIST who has been involved in the DACA project from the beginning, you will begin the accreditation process in earnest. Using the new framework with frontline services you will take the project into its next stage. ​You will engage and consult with domestic abuse court advocacy services, other domestic abuse services, criminal and civil justice partners, Scottish Government and victims and survivors (including the SafeLives Authentic Voice panel). ​This work will also entail working closely with Idaa delivery partners at ASSIST and Scottish Women’s Aid, the Scottish Qualifications Authority, to ensure ongoing delivery of the additional Idaa training relevant to DACA, as well as a wide range of colleagues within SafeLives and across Scotland, keeping the work of DACA high on the national agenda.​ The work is also linked to a broader set of work across the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) sector in Scotland that seeks to galvanise whole system improvement for those experiencing domestic abuse. The role is also closely aligned to SafeLives’ Finding What Works, Helping it Happen Strategy. <h1>Key duties</h1>You will support with emerging activity relevant to the programme and/or our strategic intent and undertake any other duties as may be reasonably required. You will work near-daily with the subject matter expert within ASSIST. You will also be an active member of the Scottish team, which includes Multi-Agency, Training and Engagement Leads. You will engage with others across the whole organisation and UK-wide (including Associates, AV panel, Pioneers and Scottish Advisory Group), to support and contribute to a shared vision to end domestic abuse. You will be responsible for reporting back to the Scottish Government on activity and will support the Head of SafeLives Scotland to ensure that the programme is delivered on time, within budget and to an excellent standard.​<h1>Person specification</h1> (E) essential (D) desirable &nbsp; Experience <ul><li>Practical engagement with both service providers and users within a Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), or closely related, setting (E)</li><li>Embedding quality principles and research within service delivery and/or learning and development activity (D)</li><li>Leading a demanding structured workplan and guiding/overseeing the work of others (internal and external to the organisation) (E)</li><li>Developing and maintaining effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders at local and national level (E)</li><li>Presenting information (verbal, digitally, written) skilfully to share good practice and to influence change.
