Sexual Assault Treatment Unit (SATU) Psychological Support Workers Needed

Become part of our dynamic organisation!

Galway Rape Crisis Centre are currently recruiting female support workers for the Sexual Assault Treatment Unit.

What is the role of a SATU support worker?

Galway Rape Crisis Centre provide a 365 day a year, 24 hour call out service to the Sexual Assault Treatment Unit (SATU) where our volunteer support workers provide much needed emotional and psychological support to people in the immediate aftermath of a sexual assault/ rape.

Please note that the role of the support worker is NOT a counselling role, but one of providing crucial psychological support preventing or limiting dissociation and re-traumatisation.
Volunteer support workers work as part of a team, receiving excellent support and supervision. They are on call for three shifts a month and respond to call-outs as appropriate.
