We are looking for a thoughtful, committed and experienced *professional who can lead RCEW’s approach to survivor engagement within the 24/7 Support Line in line with our values and centred in care and safety for all survivors.

Due to the nature of the role, the post holder will be required to provide direct support to women and children who have experienced sexual violence and abuse. The role involves working in women-only spaces and delivering trauma-informed services where privacy, dignity, and the ability to build trust with service users are essential.

Where their contributions have not been able to influence the service, be transparent as to why, and learn and reflect about how to shape the approach to balance what could be seen as extraction with advocacy.
