Join us to flip the script on sexual violence.
What You'll Do
You will play a vital role in expanding Rape Crisis South London’s prevention, awareness-raising, and income-generating activities within the Fundraising & Communications team. You will deliver trauma-informed training, workshops, and briefings – rooted in our decade’s long specialist experience — to challenge myths, break the silence around sexual violence, and embed supportive cultures across partner organisations. You will build sustainable partnerships, especially with corporate businesses, not-for-profit agencies, schools, universities and youth settings, that both deepen our impact and help grow our income through funded training and prevention programmes. In doing so, you’ll ensure prevention and awareness remains central to our mission, while enabling our organisation to scale services and income in a way that upholds the highest training standards.

- Strong relationship management skills with the ability to understand what motivates different sectors (e.g. education, corporate) to invest in training, and to confidently position our training packages as meeting their specific organisational goals and values
- Can work independently and within a team, to plan, prioritise, manage workload and implement work effectively to meet deadlines
- Ability to reflect on own practice and identify areas for own professional development
- Strong administrative skills including the use of Microsoft Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and SharePoint
