Role
Following confirmation of increased funding Forth Valley Rape Crisis Centre is pleased to be expanding its advocacy services and as such is recruiting an additional advocacy worker to support survivors of sexual violence, aged 13 and over, across the Forth Valley area through the criminal justice process.
