We want Kirklees to be a place which combines a strong and sustainable economy with a great quality of life; a place with thriving communities, growing businesses, high prosperity, low inequality and where people enjoy better health throughout their lives. We’ve been on a journey over the recent years to develop a very different organisation, one which is outcome focussed

 

The DRAMM-MARAC Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the DRAMM and MARAC processes, which have been established in Kirklees to respond to the most serious cases of domestic abuse.

A substantial part of this role is establishing effective working relationships with key voluntary, statutory services, support agencies and their staff and encouraging professionals to:

  • Co-ordinate and attend DRAMM and MARAC meetings, as well as support the wider work of the Domestic Abuse Strategic Partnership;
  • share relevant, proportionate information about victims, children and perpetrators of domestic abuse;
  • participate in a collective and robust assessment of risk to victims and children; and
  • think creatively about agency responses to domestic abuse and be proactive in volunteering actions that may assist in improving safety
  • work closely with the Domestic Abuse Project and Development Officer to enhance the training offer across the partnership

The DRAMM-MARAC Coordinator supports staff engagement in DRAMM and MARAC by delivering training and attending meetings to increase professional awareness about the processes; maintaining up-to-date information sharing and operational protocols that reflect current processes and best practice; and compiling regular data reports for a variety of audiences, assisting operational staff and strategic leaders to monitor their engagement in DRAMM and MARAC and identify improvements to the process. The DRAMM-MARAC Coordinator continually assesses both processes and uses data and professional feedback to identify any areas for improvement.

You will have experience of how the DRAMM and MARAC processes work; knowledge of Clare’s Law, knowledge of the Criminal Justice system and experience of designing audit tools/reviews and establishing methods to collate and share the findings across a range of partners.

 

In this role you will have the opportunity to develop your skills with a range of colleagues within Communities, Adults and Children’s Services and partner agencies. Tackling domestic abuse is a key priority for Kirklees and as such, you will line managed by the Service Manager for Domestic Abuse & Safeguarding Partnerships and be working within a supportive, committed team who are passsionate about achieving the best outcomes for those who have experienced domestice abuse.

 

At the current time, due to Covid-19, the post holder will be required to temporarily work from home but, even under normal circumstances, the post holder will be encouraged to work flexibly to ensure the needs of the service are met whilst maintaining a good work/life balance.
