About Standing Together:

Standing Together is a UK-based charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse and creating safer communities. We work collaboratively with various stakeholders, including local authorities, police, and health services, to improve responses to domestic abuse and support survivors. We pioneered the Coordinated Community Response (CCR) approach in the UK, a multi-agency partnership model that ensures the safety of survivors while holding abusers accountable.

Through innovative training, advocacy, and community engagement, we empower individuals and organisations to challenge and change the systems that allow domestic abuse to persist. Our mission is to ensure everyone can live free from violence and abuse, fostering a culture of respect and equality. By leveraging research and best practices, we strive to influence policy and practice, making a meaningful impact in the lives of those affected by domestic abuse.

Purpose of the role:

The purpose of this role is to manage and oversee the operation of the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) across the London boroughs, ensuring a coordinated and effective community response to cases of domestic abuse. The post-holder will be responsible for promoting collaboration among all relevant agencies, ensuring their attendance and active participation in MARAC meetings. The role also involves identifying and addressing common themes across cases to inform and improve service delivery, ensuring the safety and well-being of victims and their families.

Key Duties - What you will be doing:

• Liaise and coordinate with key local agencies to establish the terms of reference for the MARAC, including defining an agreed referral threshold and ensuring the volume of cases remains manageable for each MARAC meeting.
• Oversee the work of the MARAC Team, ensuring all activities align with best practice standards and contribute to the effectiveness of the multi-agency approach.
• Develop and maintain essential documentation to ensure the smooth running of the MARAC team, including the information-sharing protocol, referral forms, research forms, the At Risk List, and meeting minutes.
• Provide quarterly performance reports to the MARAC Steering Group, highlighting key outcomes, challenges, and opportunities for improvement.
• Adhere to all organisational policies, codes of conduct, and practices, and work within a framework of equal opportunities and anti-discriminatory practice.
• Represent the MARAC Team at local, pan-London, and national meetings, contributing to discussions and sharing best practices.

About You - Skills & Experience

• Experience working in a field requiring risk identification and mitigation.
• Experience in a victim-focused role.
• Proven experience working with external partners and stakeholders.
• Knowledge of multi-agency risk assessment principles.
• Strong team player with a positive attitude, excellent communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Excellent time management and organisational skills.
• Ability to use initiative and judgement when dealing with colleagues and partner agencies.
• Knowledge of domestic abuse, its dynamics, and its impact on survivors, particularly in relation to the MARAC process.

• Thorough understanding of safeguarding responsibilities, particularly in the context of domestic abuse.
• Experience in adhering to organisational protocols, and in developing policies, procedures, and best practice guidance.
• Familiarity with project monitoring, evaluation, and stakeholder consultation processes.

Benefits:

• 25 days of annual leave (pro rata), plus English bank holidays.
• 1 additional day's leave for religious/cultural observation.
• Salary sacrifice scheme.
