About us

SurvivorsUK exists for men, trans and non-binary people who have experienced sexual abuse, sexual assault or rape. 

We support – by providing services such as a helpline, counselling, ISVA and groupwork. 

We challenge – by raising public awareness of the issue, and dispelling myths 

We build – by creating and facilitating networks for better access to help 

We provide emotional support, information and signposting to survivors and anyone worried about someone they know, through a national counselling and webchat service (open until 8pm most evenings). Last year, 2,600 people contacted us via our webchat services and social media. 

In London, we are the only organisation providing specialist services for men and boys, including individual counselling and therapeutic group work. Across London, we provide the capital’s only Independent Sexual Advisor (ISVA) Service that helps men and boys through the criminal justice system. 

Purpose of Role

Sexual violence in prisons has long been ignored, leaving men without adequate support. Over the past year we have been part of a committee with HM Prison Service, Metropolitan Police and NHS England to develop a Service Level Agreement on responding to serious sexual assaults within prisons in London.

This three-year NHS-funded pilot is designed to:

• Train prison staff to understand the impact of sexual violence on male, boy, and non-binary prisoners.
• Raise awareness of sexual violence within prisons and equip staff with the tools to respond appropriately.
• Establish and strengthen referral pathways for survivors in London prisons.
• Gather key insights to inform future service provision and systemic change.

As a Trainer on the Prison Project you will work alongside two dedicated therapists. By embedding trauma-informed approaches within the prison system, this role will empower staff, improve survivor outcomes, and lay the foundation for long-term change in how sexual violence in prison is addressed.

Main responsibilities include:

• Deliver comprehensive training sessions to prison staff, healthcare teams, mental health professionals, probation officers and other key stakeholders.
• Develop bespoke training materials, toolkits, and resources to support ongoing learning for prison staff.
• Facilitate reflective practice sessions (‘trauma clinics’) to help staff process and improve their responses to survivors.
• Work closely with prison leadership teams to embed best practices into their safeguarding policies and procedures.
• Liaise with the Young People’s Therapist and Adult Therapist to align training with the therapeutic support available in prisons.
• Gather insights from prison staff on barriers to disclosure and challenges in supporting survivors.
