Helpline Volunteers
We are recruiting for both our Spring and Autumn cohort of helpline volunteers now. We’d love to hear from you if you think you can join our friendly team and support local survivors through the SARSVL telephone, text and email emotional support helpline.
The SARSVL helpline provides anonymous, confidential and non-judgemental telephone, email and text support to women, girls and non-binary people (who are comfortable with our woman-centred approach) who have been affected by sexual violence. Being a Helpline Volunteer at SARSVL gives you the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of survivors. It’s also a good opportunity to meet new people, learn about the Rape Crisis movement and develop within a feminist organisation.
Helpline Volunteers answer calls and take part in the day to day running of our specialist helpline. The main activities include answering calls, e-mails and text messages from people who have been affected by or have experienced any form of sexual violence in their lives. All our helpline volunteers undertake a comprehensive and specialist in house training programme covering listening skills and knowledge around aspects of sexual violence from a feminist perspective. Please apply for the deadline of Thursday 5th February.
