Job description

Job responsibilities

Are you looking for a new and exciting alternative career path within the Health & Justice care sector?

This is the perfect opportunity for a compassionate person to join a growing, innovative and market-leading service provider within Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARC).

The role of SOE is critical in providing victims of sexual assault with the dedicated support and care required.

We're looking for caring and compassionate RN's, Midwifes, RMN's or Paramedics to join us as Sexual Offence Examiner to provide holistic care and support to victims of sexual assault.

As a Sexual Offence Examiner, you'll receive full training and support to become a qualified Forensic Practitioner, with further opportunities to undertake additional higher education after one year in-post.

Because of the nature of the Sexual Offence Examiner, applications are invited from females only.

This post has a genuine occupational qualification under the Sex Discrimination Act, Section 7(2)b and 7(2)e.

Whilst the position may be based from one location, additional travel may be a requirement of the role across SARC's, therefore a UK driving license is required for this role and access to a vehicle.

Advanced DBS and level 2 Police vetting will be required.
