In Barnet we are recruiting new positions to enhance our Domestic Abuse services and create a new Barnet Domestic Abuse Support Hub (BDASH). This will increase our capacity for facilitation of Advocacy and Support services for victims and survivors of domestic abuse.

This is a great opportunity to make a difference for your patients who are experiencing domestic abuse. We are looking for a local, practising clinician (ideally a GP) with an interest in domestic abuse to become the Clinical Lead (CL) for the IRIS Programme in Barnet. This post is a sessional post on a zero hours contract and will be approximately 50 hours across the year at £80 per hour. This will be a fixed term contract until March 2027

IRIS is an evidence-based domestic abuse training and referral programme developed specifically for general practice, currently being delivered across 45+ areas of England and Wales. The IRIS Clinical Lead will promote the IRIS programme proactively and enthusiastically across Barnet, build and maintain relationships with general practice teams, and support the delivery of training sessions.

The Clinical Lead will work closely with the IRIS Advocate Educator to deliver in-house training at the practices, and act as a source of advice, guidance and support for clinical colleagues on the subject of domestic abuse.

This post is key to developing Barnet’s model of domestic abuse intervention in line with the Council’s Domestic Abuse and Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy.

You will have:

• Experience as a practising health clinician, ideally in Barnet
• Knowledge of domestic abuse legislation and safeguarding frameworks
• Understanding of trauma-informed practice and intersectional needs of victims
• Experience delivering training and/or awareness raising
• Excellent communication, negotiation and influencing skills, both written and verbal when interacting with a range of agencies and individuals.
