About Devon Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Services
DRCSAS exists to relieve the trauma and distress and help rebuild the lives of survivors living in Devon and Torbay who have experienced any form of sexual violence, at any point in their lives.
DRCSAS also campaigns and raises awareness about rape and sexual violence to change the narrative around sexual violence and to enable survivors' voices to be heard.
DRCSAS works to feminist principles, which underpin our service, and we maintain a woman only workforce and women only support spaces four days a week. Our work is guided by a trauma-informed approach which understands how traumatic experiences can impact on survivors and keeps an awareness of the effects of trauma at the forefront of our approach.

Are you an experienced Support Worker who has supported survivors of Sexual Violence in the community, through both 1:1 and group work?
Do you have a passion for working in an organisation offering high quality support to victims of Sexual Violence?
Are you organised and creative?
Can you work well in a team but also a woman who can work on their own initiative?

This is an exciting opportunity to join as at a time where we are developing the way we work with survivors and you will be able to influence this.

The post includes participation in an evening on-call rota and occasional weekend work.

This post is restricted to female applicants only under Schedule 9, part 1, Equalities Act 2010.
We aim to meet all of our obligations under the Equality 2010 Act and welcome applications from women from all sections of society.

We will make reasonable adjustments to the working environment as required.

Applicants will undergo an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before appointment and a mandatory right to work check.
