Bring Your Skills to Work That Matters

Join Lincolnshire Rape Crisis and be part of an organisation committed to survivors, social justice and supporting its staff.

As a feminist employer, we recognise that caring responsibilities, health, finances and other inequalities can affect access to work. If invited to interview, we welcome conversations about reasonable flexibility. Our roles are site-based, so we cannot offer home working.

Some applicants may have lived experience of sexual violence. This is not required or considered during recruitment. If you are a survivor, we ask that at least two years have passed since the incident(s) before applying, due to the emotionally demanding nature of the work.

Please do not include details of personal experiences in your application. If you choose to disclose that you are a survivor, simply confirm that the incident(s) occurred more than two years ago.

We are unable to answer role enquiries by phone or email; all available information is provided on this website.

We contact all successful applicants. If you have not heard from us within the stated timeframe, or within one calendar month, please assume your application has been unsuccessful. Unfortunately, we cannot provide individual feedback.

There are currently no vacancies available. Please check back later.

FEMINISM

We believe that sexual violence is both a cause and consequence of gender inequality. We are proud to be a feminist organisation and we will endeavour to fight for the rights of women and girls.

EQUITY

Equity is a fundamental human right. We recognise that our clients are discriminated against because of gender, ethnicity, religion, age, disability and sexual orientation. We are committed to fighting for equity and we will strive for inclusivity for all.

EMPOWERMENT

We are committed to empowering you to be able to claim your rights and make the decisions that affect your life. We support all clients using the empowerment model.

RESPECT

At Lincolnshire Rape Crisis everyone will be treated with dignity and respect. We will respect your individual life story and experiences. We will always believe you.
