This is an opportunity for a Black and Minority Ethnic. The proposed post would be part time, 3 days per week. The post would provide emotional and practical support to all Bangladeshi residents within the City of London who are victim/survivors of domestic abuse, sexual abuse and wider VAWG. They would work closely with partner agencies and neighbouring boroughs to encourage this community to engage in services. The post would be able to provide specialist support to Bangladeshi workers within the City of London. In addition to providing support and community engagement, the post would also provide specialist advice around this community group and cultural practices/beliefs to partner agencies such as children's and adult's social care, early help, mental health, education and police. The key aim of this proposal is to provide support to the Bangladeshi residents within the City of London, increase safety to victims and reduce the level of abuse through partnership working, training and education. This proposal aligns with national conversations around racism and ensuring local authorities are doing enough to support Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority (BAME) communities. Historically, the Bangladeshi residents within the City of London have not had access to specialist services and have only been able to access support in English. The proposed post would provide appropriate support and develop referral pathways with organisations in neighbouring boroughs for a holistic approach, which in turn would reduce the risk of domestic abuse. The post has the potential to support, signpost and identify other areas of crimes and issues which may affect this community such as prevent, exploitation, crime prevention and antisocial behaviour. The post holder will have direct communication to the City Corporation's Anti-Social Behaviour Officer, Prevent Coordinator, police and all other agencies. The proposed post will be delivered by the specialist domestic abuse and sexual abuse organisation Solace, who already provide advice and support to City of London residents and workers. The service will be available to all Bangladeshi residents within the City of London. There is an option for Solace to sub-commission the service to be delivered by a specific Bangladeshi organisation. Solace have recently been awarded the contract to deliver the Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA) service in Tower Hamlets. The proposed post will therefore be well connected to the Bangladeshi community and services within Tower Hamlets, with the opportunity for the post holder to be line managed by the Tower Hamlets IDVA service. This contract will begin at the time of the appointment of a Bangladeshi speaking worker. The funding available for the delivery of this service is set at £35,713 in Year One and £36,105 in Year Two.
