Job Vacancies

 

At RASASC, we take pride in supporting our clients and have been supporting people affected by sexual violence since 1995. All members of our team are highly motivated towards raising society’s awareness of the prevalence and consequences of sexual violence as well as helping to challenge common myths and unhelpful perceptions.

 

As a leading provider of support for people who have experienced sexual violence we are looking to recruit individuals who are committed to working within this field and who want to make a difference to the lives of those affected by trauma. We offer excellent terms and conditions with a 35-hour full time working week, 28 days leave per year plus Bank Holidays, a pension and EAP scheme as well as training and development opportunities.

 

We strive to build a team that reflects the diversity of the community we work in and encourage applications from traditionally underrepresented groups such as people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, and LGBTQI+ people.
