We’re hiring a dedicated Prevention Worker

We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic individual to join our team.

The national sexual violence prevention programme is funded by the Scottish Government to run workshops across Scotland adapted for four different age and stage groups. This work is led by workers based in local Rape Crisis Centres and places an emphasis on young people’s participation and leadership.

The prevention programme promotes children’s rights to protection from violence and abuse. We welcome applications from candidates with experience in youth work, community education, social care, violence against women services, education, mental health, advocacy or related fields. We recognise that candidates may not meet every desirable criterion and encourage applications from those with transferable skills and relevant values. 

While delivery of relationship and sexual violence prevention education is a core part of this role, the post offers opportunities to contribute to wider systems change across Dundee and Angus. The successful candidate will build relationships with schools, community organisations and strategic partners to influence local approaches to prevention. They will be encouraged to identify opportunities to develop prevention work, contribute to workforce development, support policy and practice discussions and involve young people in shaping future approaches. 

The role requires creativity, initiative and the ability to adapt approaches to meet the needs of different settings while maintaining the integrity of the national Rape Crisis Scotland Prevention Programme.
