About BSARCS
In 1987 a small group of women from a variety of backgrounds came together on a voluntary
basis with the aim of developing a support service for women and girls in Barnsley.  Two years
later, they opened a helpline service for women  who had experienced sexual harm, initially
operating on a very limited budget and for two hours a week, with no premises of their own
and the bare minimum of equipment.

In  the years  since  then  BSARCS  has  grown  beyond  recognition  and  in  the  year  2024/25  we
provided specialist therapy, advocacy and support to around 1500 women, men and children
who have experienced sexual violence or harm as well as to their relatives.
In the same year, we also delivered specialist training courses to over 800 professionals in the
borough.

BSARCS is governed by a Board of Trustees and currently has around 30 individuals working
from  our  Barnsley  premises,  including  our  CEO,  Business  Support  Team,  Training  &
Development Team, Adult Services and Children’s Services.  We also have a team of volunteers
supporting our work.

We are committed to partnership working and, as a result, our funding streams are diverse,
attracting both statutory funding and charitable grants.

Why work for us?
We are an innovative, flexible and supportive employer, committed to the personal and
professional development and wellbeing of our employees, offering the following benefits:

  30 days paid leave plus statutory holidays (pro rata for part time employees)
  Christmas Closure
  A competitive pension scheme
  Westfield Health membership
  Free car parking

We really value our staff team and are constantly reviewing our policies and practice, looking
for ways in which we can better demonstrate this.  We also recognise the potential impact of
working in this field and provide clinical supervision to all of our employees, irrelevant of their
role.

About the role
South Yorkshire Sexual Violence Partnership (SYSVP) is made up of four specialist sexual
violence partners in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield to deliver a regional ISVA

flexibly and collaboratively to enable children to access the appropriate services at the right
time.
