Current opportunities to get involved

Sexual assault and abuse services (SAAS) patient and public voice (PPV) partner roles

NHS England is seeking new patient and public voice (PPV) partners to join its sexual assault and abuse services (SAAS) lived experience group.

This group has an important role to play in helping NHS England to develop and improve SAAS, including sexual assault referral centres (SARCs).

Individuals on the group have non-recent and recent lived experience of sexual assault and abuse. We are currently recruiting new members and are particularly keen to hear from as diverse a range of applicants as possible.

More information including a role description can be found in the application pack.

We typically meet 4 times a year, either face to face or online. You will be required to read papers in advance and also be open to take forward dedicated pieces of work as they occur. Support with meeting attendance and preparation can be provided if needed.

Closing date: 11:59pm Monday 26 August 2024
Interviews (30 minutes, online): week commencing 9 September 2024
