Lanarkshire Rape Crisis Centre (LRCC), established in 2004, is an independent charity with the objective of relieving the distress and improving the welfare of women and girls who, at any time in their lives, have been subjected to any form of sexual violence.

The Support Service will offer a range of individual and peer support options to aid in the recovery from any form of sexual violence or abuse. The Reference Group will be a space for young people to come together in solidarity, have their voices championed and amplified and be a key part of the prevention landscape tackling gender-based violence. The funding means we are recruiting 2 new staff to lead on the development and delivery of the project and work collaboratively within our existing staff teams to deliver the project outcomes.

The post will also play a key role in the facilitation of programmes with young people around recovery from sexual violence, what healthy sexual relationships look like (using nationally approved prevention materials), and to support schools, colleges, universities and communities in implementing holistic and strategic approaches to addressing gender-based violence.
