Role

Established in 1978, Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre (ERCC) provides a support, information and advocacy service to all survivors aged 12 and over in Edinburgh, East Lothian and Midlothian who have experienced recent and / or historic sexual violence, including rape, sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse and commercial sexual exploitation. We also work in schools and with young people across Edinburgh and the Lothians, and strategically with multi-agency partners, towards preventing sexual violence.

The Survivor Engagement Worker will play a central role in building, supporting and sustaining a vibrant and inclusive survivor community. We are looking for someone passionate about amplifying survivor voices and fostering a sense of agency and peer-support through establishing a community of survivors. You will be empathetic, a skilled facilitator and collaborative, with a deep belief in the power of lived experience to drive systemic change.

Application notes

Studies show that women and Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic people are less likely to apply for a job unless they meet every qualification. So, if you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with the job description, we'd love you to apply anyway. You might just be the perfect person for this role, or another role within our organisation

Closing date for applications: 26 August 2025

Interviews will be held on: 08 September 2025

ERCC operates under a Schedule 9, Part 1 exemption of the Equality Act 2010, which means that all our roles require staff to fall within the legal definition of a woman.

Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre is committed to and working to achieve equal opportunities and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
