About the role

Join us in building safer futures by giving a voice to male survivors of domestic abuse and strengthening professional awareness 

This is a unique and rewarding role that combines direct survivor support, specialist partnership work, and awareness-raising in the community.

As part of our dedicated Domestic Abuse Service, you’ll focus on three main areas:

Supporting male survivors at standard and medium risk  

• Provide one-to-one, trauma-informed support to men affected by domestic abuse.

• Complete risk assessments, safety plans and ongoing recovery-focused support.

• Help survivors build confidence, make safe choices and achieve long-term positive change.

Survivor support alongside the Your Choice Project (YCP)  

• Work in line with Respect Standards, which ensure that survivors are supported while their partner or ex-partner attends the YCP behaviour change programme.

• Deliver specialist parallel support to male survivors, ensuring their voice, safety and wellbeing remain central.

• Collaborate closely with YCP colleagues to provide a balanced, holistic approach to safety and recovery.

Community outreach and awareness-raising  

• Attend and run events across Nottinghamshire to connect directly with male survivors and the professionals who may encounter them.

• Deliver training and briefings to raise awareness of male survivors’ experiences and increase professional confidence in responding to them.

• Contribute to the development of innovative outreach strategies that challenge stigma and make services more visible and accessible to men.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in supporting people in crisis, ideally in domestic abuse or frontline services.

• Knowledgeable about the challenges and barriers faced by male survivors of abuse.

• Skilled in communication, problem-solving and building strong partnerships.

• Confident working with both survivors and professionals in community settings.

• Passionate about equality, inclusion and ending domestic abuse in all its forms.
