Job Description
Brisbane Domestic Violence Service
BDVS is the specialist domestic violence service for the Brisbane metropolitan region. BDVS is funded by the Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety to provide free and confidential services to adults and children who have been impacted by domestic and family violence. BDVS has a focus on achieving safety and stability for the individuals and families that we support.
Working from contemporary evidence based best practice models, BDVS provides an array of services including crisis and case management, outreach, groups, safety planning, court support, information and referral, programs for men who perpetrate DFV, and psycho-social education on the dynamics of domestic and family violence.
BDVS operates from various locations across Brisbane. BDVS is committed to ensuring the service is accessible and inclusive by providing outreach and mobile services that meet people in locations which are safe and suitable to their circumstances, whether that be at home or in the community.
The Safer and Accountable Men (SAM) Program is a 16-week, open-ended mandated program, based on the Duluth Framework. It is offered to male offenders under the supervision of statutory authorities who have perpetrated violence against their intimate partners. The SAM day program is a voluntarily participated program for participants identified by DJAG Court Link Program (Court Link Program), and Queensland Police Service Brisbane Northside vulnerable persons unit (VPU), as men using violence. It supports men to access information, advise and education around domestic and family violence and equal relationships using Duluth’s ‘Equality Wheel’. Men’s court work provides information and referral to men, including their responsibilities as a respondent on a Domestic Violence Order and legal ramifications in breaching domestic and family violence orders or continuing to use violence within their relationships. The Men’s Program has a core belief that victims of domestic violence have a right to safety, and that perpetrators of violence must be held to account for their behavior and provided the opportunity for change.
We are looking for a dynamic and experienced Safer & Accountable Men Program Facilitator to deliver the Men’s group programs for those men currently attending to live free from violence. The program is based on the Duluth curriculum and as part of an integrated service response to addressing risk and safety to adults and children experiencing violence.
