RASASH (Rape and Sexual Abuse Service Highland) provides free, confidential support and information to anyone affected by sexual violence in Highland (age 13+). This includes survivors of sexual violence and their non-abusing partners, friends, and families. We support all genders – women, men, non-binary, trans and gender non-conforming, while recognising that sexual violence disproportionally affects women and girls.

We also develop and deliver training and workshops to schools, youth groups, and professionals on a range of topics related to sexual violence and gender equality. This, alongside our youth-led campaigning, is part of our work to change societal attitudes which contribute to sexual violence and the shaming of survivors.

RASASH is the only specialist sexual violence service in Highland. Our service is women-led and trauma-informed.

We are looking for new Trustees to join our Board to help guide our strategic direction and ensure we continue providing essential support to survivors across the region.

Are you passionate about supporting survivors of sexual violence and shaping the future of a vital Highland charity? Do you have skills, experience, or lived experience that could strengthen our leadership? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

We welcome applications from women across Highland who are committed to RASASH’s mission and values. We particularly encourage applications from those underrepresented in the workforce, including women from diverse ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ communities, disabled women, and women with lived experience of the issues we address.

Applicants do not need any prior experience of being a trustee, as we will provide a full induction. Candidates should ideally live or work in Highland and be able to bring knowledge, insight, and dedication to our Board.

Apex Scotland is a leading organisation in the Scottish justice and wider charity sector dedicated to reducing reoffending, promoting social inclusion, and supporting people to build bright futures. We work with individuals facing significant barriers to employment and community integration, helping them to make positive choices and achieve lasting change.

We’ve been going through a period of exciting change and with the arrival of our new CEO, Lindsay Fyffe-Jardine, we are now seeking new Trustees to join our Board and help guide Apex Scotland through the next stage of our development.

As a Trustee, you will play a vital role in shaping our strategic direction, ensuring good governance, and supporting our mission to create safer communities across Scotland.

We are particularly keen to hear from people with skills and experience in:

• Finance and Fundraising
• Criminal justice, social care, or community services
• Marketing, Policy and Advocacy
• Commercial/Private sectors
• Lived experience of the issues Apex Scotland addresses.

Previous Board experience is not essential as training and support will be offered – what matters most is your commitment to our values, your willingness to contribute your expertise, and your passion for making a real difference.

This is a voluntary role, but the rewards are significant: the chance to influence change, develop professionally, and contribute to a Scotland where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Be part of something meaningful. Help us build a future beyond someone’s past.
