We are currently looking for psychologists and professionals in the domestic abuse field to join our team of sessional assessors.
DV-ACT and PAI are linked organisations who have the primary aim of keeping children safe from abuse. We work with local authorities and the family courts across the UK to provide expert assessments and treatment programmes where domestic or sexual abuse is a child protection concern.
We are presently seeking psychologists to undertake independent expert assessments within child protection proceedings, in cases where domestic abuse / family violence or sexual abuse is an identified concern.
We are also seeking professionals from other backgrounds who have a postgraduate qualification in a relevant field and a proven track record of working with domestic abuse perpetrators and victims.
This role will involve working independently to assess the risk that parents pose to their children, specifically where domestic or sexual abuse is a factor. Excellent communication and writing skills will be required. Please note that this role includes attending family court hearings as an expert witness.
We are also looking for psychologists who can undertake cognitive testing of parents that can sometimes form part of our domestic abuse risk assessments.
