This is a paid position, 2-3 days a month, with training provided, til August 2022.

The study is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and led by a team at the University of Birmingham, working in partnership with survivors, voluntary sector services, health services and commissioners.

The role will include:
 Offering knowledge and experience of the issues being researched
 Co-facilitating interviews with survivors of sexual violence
 Helping to recruit survivors to the study
 Assisting in the development of research materials and tools
 Assisting with data analysis
 Attending some research meetings (these may be virtual)
