Are you an experienced IDVA ready to use your skills where they can have the greatest impact? This is a rare opportunity to join the nationally recognised Drive Project in Bradford, working as part of a coordinated, whole-system response to high-harm domestic abuse. The Drive Project is not a pilot or test programme; it is a well-established national model currently being rolled out across England, reflecting sustained national commitment to reducing risk, strengthening safety, and improving outcomes for victim-survivors, children and families. In Bradford, the service will be delivered by The Bridge Project in partnership with the Drive Central Team and West Yorkshire Combined Authority, and will be fully embedded within local safeguarding and partnership arrangements from the outset.
The Drive Project works with individuals who pose the highest risk of causing serious harm within intimate or family relationships. The programme combines intensive individual case management with a coordinated multi-agency response, creating the conditions for accountability, behaviour change and sustained risk reduction, while keeping victim and survivor safety at the centre of all activity.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a purpose-built service, bringing together skilled practitioners across roles to work collectively, safely and effectively to reduce serious harm and increase safety for children and adults. If you are an experienced, values-led practitioner who is ready to make a meaningful difference in Bradford, we would welcome your application.
The team will operate with fidelity to the Drive model, a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework, balancing challenge and accountability with engagement and support. Staff will work closely with a range of systems and services, such as police, probation, children’s and adult safeguarding, housing, health and specialist adult and child domestic abuse services to ensure a coordinated and effective response to high-risk harm and victim/ survivor safety.
Who We’re Looking For
We are looking for a skilled, values-driven practitioner who is committed to reducing harm and improving safety for children and adults affected by domestic abuse. You will bring relevant professional experience, strong assessment, engagement and communication skills, and the ability to work confidently with complexity, risk and challenge. We are seeking people who can balance clear boundaries and accountability with empathy, curiosity and respect, and who are able to work reflectively within a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework.
You will be comfortable working as part of a multi-disciplinary team and in close partnership with other agencies, sharing information appropriately and contributing to collective decision-making. We are particularly keen to hear from people who value learning, supervision and reflective practice, and who want to help shape and embed a high-quality service within a well-established national model.
We are looking to build a team that reflects the breadth of Bradford’s communities and can work confidently, respectfully and effectively with individuals and families across the city. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and value cultural awareness, curiosity and competence. Relevant language skills are also welcomed and valued.
Why Work at The Bridge Project?
As well as offering meaningful and rewarding work, The Bridge Project is a well-established Bradford charity with over 40 years’ experience, employing more than 120 staff across the district. We deliver a wide range of integrated services supporting people affected by domestic abuse, substance use, homelessness, mental health challenges, and complex trauma. Our work is rooted in compassion, partnership, and a strong commitment to reducing harm and creating lasting change.
Funding and Retention
The Drive Programme is currently funded through a Home Office national programme. While funding beyond March 2027 remains subject to government spending reviews and funding cycles, Drive is a well-established, evidence-based model that is currently under national roll-out, reflecting continued national prioritisation of whole-system responses to high-harm domestic abuse.
In recognition of the commitment involved in joining a time-limited, externally funded programme, the organisation offers a £2,000 retention payment. This will be paid through the March 2027 payroll to staff who successfully complete the full funded period. The payment is guaranteed and will be made regardless of whether the programme continues beyond this date.

The Bridge Project is proud to be a Mindful Employer, championing a workplace where wellbeing truly matters.

The Bridge Project is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults and to creating safe, inclusive services. All staff are expected to share this commitment.
The Bradford RESET service, which stands for Recognising, Engaging and Supporting Everyone to Transform is an innovative service bringing a trauma-informed approach to support individuals who have caused or who are causing harm in their intimate and/ or family relationships and for those with additional complex needs within our community. Bradford RESET is led by Bridge in partnership with Create Strength Group.
Bradford RESET uniquely combines two existing services focused on domestic abuse, delivered by Bridge, with an extensive new programme offer for individuals aged 16 and over who cause harm. This integration creates a vibrant opportunity for Bradford to tackle the underlying causes of domestic abuse by providing effective, therapeutic, and proactive support. We also recognise the importance of holistic family wellness and safety, offering therapeutic support for entire families affected by the behaviours of individuals involved in the programme.
The Case Worker will be part of a wider team and is dedicated to the element of the Bradford RESET service.
We are looking for a positive, enthusiastic person who is fully committed to working within a dynamic delivery model. We seek an individual who prioritises collaboration and inclusivity.
You will be engaging with people aged 16+ of any gender, referred or self-referring to the service, who are harming or have harmed in their family and/or intimate relationships. This includes those with varying motivations to change, outstanding charges, ongoing criminal investigations, family court proceeding or re-offending during their involvement with the service. The Case Worker will be working within our trauma-informed model that addresses the root causes of domestic abuse, proactively engaging with resistance and compliance challenges through therapeutic individual and group work programmes. Each component not only focuses on behaviour change but also addresses broader health and wellbeing determinants. This service is committed to inclusive practices, believing that people’s wellbeing and safety are significantly improved when they are actively engaged in our programmes.

The Bridge Project is a long‑established charity in the heart of Bradford, dedicated to supporting people facing complex challenges such as substance use, homelessness, offending behaviours, and social disadvantage. We play a vital role in reducing inequalities by offering accessible, person-centred support, empowering individuals to overcome barriers and build healthier, more independent lives.
We are excited to share the launch of a newly established, trauma‑informed service, Bridge-Ways. Its main aim is to reduce prison recalls and improve resettlement outcomes for people leaving custody who present with multiple needs, sometimes described as complex needs. We are seeking a Navigator on a full-time basis to join the team.
The service works intensively with those at elevated risk of recall, especially individuals facing housing insecurity. Through early engagement before release, the Navigator will form meaningful connections with beneficiaries (via online meetings and possibly face to face meetings) to support beneficiaries to make informed decisions about their transition from prison. The goal is to prevent unnecessary recalls.
The Navigator will focus on the following key areas:
We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting individuals facing multiple and complex barriers as they transition from custody back into the community, with a strong commitment to trauma-informed practice. A deep understanding of the criminal justice system is important, and you will be motivated to drive positive change, believe in the capacity for meaningful transformation, and are committed to maintaining accurate digital records for evaluation and service development. As part of a newly established team, you will bring enthusiasm, resilience, and a collaborative spirit, ensuring a holistic, joined-up approach that supports people to build safer, healthier, and more independent lives.
It is essential that you have access to a reliable car, hold appropriate business car insurance, and be willing to use your car to transport people you support to appointments and meetings as needed, for which travelling expenses will be paid. This not only supports trust and inclusion but is essential for ensuring individuals can reach crucial services and supports in the community, particularly in situations where public transport may not be suitable or available. A willingness to undergo an enhanced DBS check is also a requirement of the post (the results of which would not necessarily exclude applicants from consideration).
