DEVON Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Services (RCSAS) is looking for volunteers to represent its diverse community and join its team.

Devon RCSAS is a voluntary organisation that offers a range of free and confidential, specialist support services to women aged 13 years and above in Devon who have experienced rape or sexual violence. It also provides a more limited range of support to young men.

No previous experience is necessary to be a volunteer as all training is provided. All volunteers will carry out support on the telephone helpline and email support service either in Exeter, Torquay or Barnstaple and there is also the possibility of carrying out face-to-face specialist support in the area where they live. They will also need to attend the volunteer supervision and development meetings which take place once a month in Exeter. The training programme runs over six months and it is accredited by Ascentis Awards.

This is a rewarding volunteering opportunity for an organisation that provides a high quality support service. As well as the accredited training, there will be continual training opportunities and the chance to join in and represent the organisation at events.

Deadline for applications is June 30. If you are interested, you can download the information from the website www.devonrapecrisis.org.uk and return the application form, individual needs and equal opportunities form to [email protected]

For any further questions or a chat, contact service manager Anna on 01392 208756.
