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, which we deliver three times a year – our next training course starts in October 2022. If you’d like to be considered for this, please submit your application form by 15 September (see below for how to apply). Currently, much of our training is delivered remotely, via Zoom, and thus we require trainees to have internet access, a laptop/tablet and a quiet, private space in which you can take part in the training.
Listening services volunteers
We’re looking for volunteers who can regularly give their time during shifts on either Monday, Thursday & Sunday evenings, or Friday mornings. We expect volunteers to be able to do 2-4 shifts per month for a minimum of 18 months.
