Role

Following career progression within our team, we are delighted to be recruiting for a new Counselling Support Worker. We are seeking a qualified counsellor (to diploma level or higher) to join our therapeutic support team. This role offers 1:1 therapeutic counselling and support to survivors of sexual violence of any gender aged 13 upwards within the Forth Valley area.

We are a holistic service which offers survivors a safe and therapeutic space across their healing journey. We recognise the complexities in recovering from trauma and offer wraparound support from the point of referral through to the end of a survivor’s therapeutic and/or advocacy journey. Providing wrapround support via check-in calls and drop-in support are an integral part of the role of Counselling Support Worker.

We are seeking applications from qualified counsellors who have at least 12 months experience working directly with sexual violence, trauma or crisis intervention. An understanding of the gendered roles of sexual violence and the intersectional factors which can create barriers for survivors to access support is essential.

If you feel this could be you, we would love to hear from you. If you would like some further information or an informal chat before applying, please get in touch via our recruitment email – recruitment@forthvalleyrapecrisis.org.uk
