Position Filled: First Responder Fellowship, Sexual Assault Care Centre
July 9th, 2020 | Jobs @ AWARE, News
We are no longer accepting applicants for this role.
AWARE’s Sexual Assault Care Centre (SACC) is looking for a First Responder Fellow. This Fellowship is an opportunity for individuals keen on joining the movement to promote zero tolerance to sexual violence in Singapore. You will serve as a first responder to survivors who reach out to SACC, which is currently the only centre in Singapore that provides gender- and trauma-informed services to sexual assault survivors.
This Fellowship aims to cultivate the knowledge, skills and mindsets necessary to tackle and respond to sexual violence, such that Fellows become advocates for change as they venture further into social service work or related sectors. The Fellows receive specialised mentorship and training in trauma-informed skills, while supporting youth, adults and families coping with the impact of sexual violence. Fellows develop core competencies designed to foster their professional development into the social service sector through:
- Content and classroom learning
- Shadowing and on-the-job training opportunities
- Exposure through community engagement opportunities, events, and other programmes; and
- Supervision, on the ground technical support, guidance and emotional support by the Programme manager.
A significant part of the role would also involve carrying out administrative duties to provide operational support for the day-to-day running of various services at SACC. These duties include documentation/report writing, data management, ad-hoc projects, etc.
In addition to first response, the Fellow will also get exposure to community engagement opportunities as part of the Fellowship.
Professionals seeking a mid-career break or change, who have a keen interest in the social service sector, are highly encouraged to apply. If you have several years of experience in the social service sector, the Fellowship offers you a space to diversify your client profile and issue-area you want to work with. For those with years of experience in the private sector, this can serve as an opportunity to network and dip your toe in the public sector to assess if you want to make that move. We encourage applicants to prioritise the exposure and learning opportunities through this fellowship/entry-level position.
