The Role
SafeLives has an unparalleled track record of using evidence and research to effect national change, with research and analysis being fundamental to helping SafeLives achieve its strategy. This information is used to set our policy messages, define our strategy, design our services and evidence the impact of the work we have done.
In April 2021, the Domestic Abuse Act received Royal Assent. The Act introduces a new civil Domestic Abuse Protection Notice (DAPN) to provide immediate protection following a domestic abuse incident and a new civil Domestic Abuse Protection Order (DAPO) to provide flexible, longer-term protection for victims. DAPOs can impose both prohibitions and positive requirements on perpetrators. Positive requirements can be in the form of interventions aimed at reducing and managing risk, meeting the needs of an individual (for the factors that are not the causation of abuse but impact on risk, e.g. mental ill health and substance misuse) and behaviour change interventions.
The Drive Partnership has been commissioned by the Home Office to design a triage model that will assess individuals for the suitability of these interventions; this triage model will be rolled out in the pilot sites, which are going live in May 2024, and will be tested and evaluated in order to prepare for national roll out in 2026.
The Research Analyst will be responsible for working with and supporting the Senior Research Analyst and Research Managers to develop and deliver rigorous and sector-leading data, analysis and recommendations across our work alongside the Drive Partnership.
This role is an exciting opportunity to help transform the response to domestic abuse by ensuring the sector is evidence-led. SafeLives holds the largest datasets on victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse nationally, which you will use to inform our ambitious policy and research agenda. Working alongside our practice experts, survivors of abuse, and our expert research team, you will help to answer important questions about what works in ending domestic abuse.
We need an enthusiastic, innovative and capable individual with the excellent technical ability to keep our unique sector-leading evidence base relevant and informative to all our users: local service providers, commissioners and national government. The evidence you produce will inform and influence national policymakers, funders and stakeholders to improve the response for families living with domestic abuse.
Benefits
- 34 days’ holiday, including public holidays
- Eyecare vouchers
- Employee assistance programme
- Enhanced family leave policies
- Individual learning budget
- Flexible working, e.g. compressed hours
- Pension scheme with 4% employer contribution
- Clinical supervision
- Enhanced sick pay
- Restorative practice training
- Cycle-to-work scheme
- Childcare vouchers
- Holiday purchase scheme to buy up to an additional 5 days
- Professional development fund
- Time off in lieu
If this challenge sounds as exciting to you as it does to us and you believe you have the qualities we have described, please take a look over the job description and submit a 500-word cover letter and CV.
Closing date: 9.00 am on Tuesday 3rd September 2024.
