Volunteer

Overview

Do you want to support survivors of sexual violence, develop your skills, and join a diverse group of like-minded people?

Our volunteers play a vital role in delivering our services to survivors of sexual violence, and we have a variety of volunteering opportunities (most don’t require any previous experience). We are looking for people who are committed to OSARCC’s vision of a world free from sexual violence, and who identify with our core values. We also look for potential volunteers to be good communicators, empathetic, and self-aware about their own support needs. In return, we can offer a supportive environment in which to develop new and transferable skills, and the opportunity to make a real difference to people’s lives.

OSARCC is keen to ensure that those who volunteer with us represent the communities we serve, and we welcome applications from women and non-binary people recorded female at birth who are aged 18+.

All our volunteers are asked to complete our in-house training.


Counselling volunteers / Counselling placements

We are looking for counsellors to provide support through our counselling service.

We require counselling trainees to have gained 40 hours clinical experience in a supervised placement prior to accessing a placement with OSARCC. Full training in supporting survivors of sexual violence is provided; you must be able to commit to 3-4 client hours per week for at least 18 months and factor in record keeping and supervision.
